geowenchJuly was a really good month. There was uncomfortably hot days, but we didn't get hit as hard as western Europe did - I don't think it got over 100F/40C, although it came close, and without AC, it was pretty tough - I was once again reduced to shoving packets of frozen veggies down my knickers to try and stay cool, and sleeping with another packet under my neck. But there were also lovely cool days, and overall, we really enjoyed ourselves.
The first weekend of July we hopped a train to Kutna Hora, which is an old mining town with some impressive gothic churches, but more importantly, the amazing Sedlec Ossuary, which is out of this world amazing and not at all creepy. Honestly it felt like I was fulfilling one of the things I was meant to do. An incredible experience.
The next weekend we stayed home, venturing out to visit Praha's Museum of Decorative Arts. Although the building was incredibly gorgeous, the museum itself was kind of disappointing. We are running out of Prague museums, largely because E doesn't want to do any of the art museums.
The following weekend we went to Karlsteijn Castle, which at one point housed the crown jewels of the Holy Roman Empire. We took a really interesting tour of the castle, and I was once again convinced that these people who wish htey lived in the middle ages are out of the ever lovign minds, especially if they are women.
The next weekend we again stayed home, though we went to the Alchemy Museum, which was frankly terrible, and way overpriced. Ah well, we had a nice wander through the Mala Strana afterwards.
And now it is August and we just got back from a really nice trip to Vienna, which I will talk about later.
