we were adventuresome last night and made the most of the kitchen in the hostel..we made chicken parmas and vegies, drank some good strong vodka..and beers-luke, i can drink half a litre of beer!!!yay, and its so much cheaper then spirits..just wait for my beer gut in the photos. anyway, hostel has a common room, so a pommy friend taught us how to play bullshit properley..we were just putting any cards down, and were wandering why the game went so fast, amy won and didnt tell any lies!till we played it properly by putting following cards on top!rules made amy lie.
Woke early to donuts and coffee again..ran to the toilet from the dorm, was so busting only to find the toilet was in use...aaarrrgh..me running down the hallway in pjs, hair everyhwere and bleary eyes.oh the joys of staying in a hostel with a communal bathroom.its great. the showers and toilets are really clean here so thats a plus.
Caught the one hour train to kutna hora, a small town east of prague.Its famous for the church that has been decorated with bones. Apparently 40,000 skeletons are contained within the church and the graveyard..and its not a big graveyard so most are in the church. Its not gruesome, actually kind of artistic. They are all strung together to make chandeliers and coats of arms and decorations on the walls, a little freaky but good to see. Kutna hora was originally a huge silver mine, the silver mined there made alot of the money for all of europe.We paid 70 in czech, around 3 euro ish..6 aus, and put on helmuts and coats and torches and went down the old mine. At the deepest it was 35 metres, with parts of the mine 120cm high and only 40cm wide..dan only just squeezed through..and in the process of sqeezing burped so loud it echoed through the whole mine..such a gentlemen...and then out of the 20 or so on the tour, i was fell over and slide down the stairs..so maybe we make a good couple.
The mine is longer in use, but you can still see alot of the shafts, and the guide gave heaps of info. Because its pitch black down there..we turned the torches of, and it feels like your eyes are trying to adjust bt nothing happens..and the miners would have only had small oil lamps they use to be able to smell where the pockets of silver are..apparently it smells like garlic? who knows.
Kutna Hora was nice, kinda similar to cesky krumlov..without the river and castle, just a small town with the weird tourists who like seeing a church covered in bones.
CAught the packed train back to prague. Cooked chicken, zuccini and carrot in tomatoes saucey stuff with rice and are planning an early night because tomorrow we have the 8 hour trip to krakow, poland.
have moved dorms from the 6 bed to the 11 bed because we added an extra day in prague..normally its ben more guys then girls..dan love it,lol, but tonight i think me and amy are the only girls...the room smells already and they better not all snore..meh, once gottas love hostels!
