Damnit, Blogspot is being a pain and refuses to upload photos right now :(
Today I took a very expensive tour to Kutna Hora, which is a town around 60km east of Prague. The tour consisted of me, two English pensioners, and two Czech pensioners who live in California. The old people were quite nice, but started talking conservative politics after a while (how dare they say "partner" on forms instead of "husband or wife"!) so I tuned out.
We visited the Sedlec Ossuary, which has decorations made from 40,000 human skeletons (the pensioners didn't really like it here), wandered around the town, had a tasty Czech lunch (goulash and dumplings with Czech Budweiser) and visited the Cathedral of St Barbara, which is another cool gothic building (gothic architecture is so cool). I took lots of cool photos, but unfortunately I can't upload them now, so I'll upload soon.
I am feeling rather lazy, so instead of heading to Munich I've decided to stay in Prague for another 2 days if I can (hopefully the hostel reception will open sometime tonight...). I'd like to visit Karlstejn Castle, and I'm sure I could kill another day (yes Mum, I am looking after myself :)).
Been to St Vitus' Cathedral in the castle? More importantly, walked up to the top of its spire? Only 400+ steps straight up, no railings or passing niches. Fun!
