Euro Trip Days 42, 43, and 44 all rolled into one post
Sorry if I’ve managed to totally bore you all to death with all of the pictures of buildings… but there are more church pictures in this post. Only a couple, though. Promise. :-) On Friday (Day 42) we left Prague and headed to Neusorg, Germany. I had no idea where this was when I booked [...]
Euro Trip Day 41: Bones, churches, and bone churches
Today we got up and tried to get on a train at a relatively early hour to go to the town of Kutna Hora, a UNESCO World Heritage site about an hour from Prague, and home to a few really neat places. To be fair, we did make it on the train at a reasonable [...]
