August 12th, 2008thursday in kutná hora
We were choosing a nearby place to see that day; either Kutná Hora or Vyšehrad and M chose the former (which is actually farther compared to Vyšehrad).
I’ve been to Kutná Hora, a UNESCO World Heritage site in the Central Bohemian region of Czech Republic four years ago. I was intrigued by the so-called church of bones which my cousin has seen in a website. She asked me to visit it. Well, “creepy” as what my sister described upon coming out of the chapel, but for me the work of art using human bones (God bless the souls of these plague victims) was extraordinary.
Our itinerary that day:
Sedlec Ossuary popularly known as the church of bones (pic below)

A lovely souvenir shop in Kutna Hora
Shopping tip: It’s better to buy souvenirs in Kutna Hora than in Prague coz the prices are way cheaper here.

Oh my goodness! I had never heard of them using bones in the cathedral like that. Very interesting.
