Prague to Vienna

This morning we visited the UNESCO listed town of Kutna Hora for a chance to see its impressive medieval sights. We stopped at the Ossuary, which is a church decorated with human bones. Just a little creepy!! The unique decoration of the interior from 1870 is said to speak about the substance and sense of human life.

Posing with all the bones!
This chandelier is made out of all 206 bones in the adult human body!
Skulls and Bones...
and more Skulls and Bones.
We then traveled south to Vienna, the majestic capital of Austria. Along the way we had a little detour with the bus because the highway was closed. It worked in our favor because we were able to see so much of the Bohemian countryside!!
