Yesterday was our final night in Prague. What an incredible city. I know that a lot of movies are filmed there, and it literally does look like a back lot at Warner Brothers or Disneyland. I kept expecting to turn a corner and find a Kraft services food tent, but everything was real!
Unfortunately the city is EXTREMELY touristy. It's a known Vegas of Eastern Europe, as in "whatever happens in Prague stays in Prague". We ran into a few stag parties from Germany and the UK, including a group of men from Ireland who were totally wasted and kicked out of a bar at 7pm!
Kutna Hora is a sleepy town about an hour outside of Prague. It was about 100degres while we were there, so we didn't see as much of the town as we might have otherwise. We came primarily to the Ossuary, a chapel decorrated with human bones. Sounds creepy. It was actually very beautiful. The message of the chapel is that the bodies we have, our flesh and bones, are not lasting. What we do in these bodies, will be accounted for elsewhere.
