Goodbye to Prague - 28th June

Tomorrow we head off to Paris so tonight we spent our last few Czech crowns in Prague...



The travelers rejuvenated their tired old feet with some therapy from the Turkish nibbling fish!





... and we bought some nice woolly Czech hats for the boys to keep their ears warm during ski season when we get home.

On to Paris tomorrow...

Kutna Hora - 28th June

Today we took a day trip from Prague to the historic Czech town of Kutna Hora.

A town famous for it's creepy church with skeletal architecture... The Sedlec Ossuary.







Kutna Hora was also a famous silver mining town in it's heyday and we got to explore some of the old medieval mine shafts heading 35m underground...

We got to wear the cool miners outfits too!

Back to Prague - 27th June

Left Ohrozim today and headed back to Prague for a couple more nights before continuing our journey.

Arrived in time to head up to the Petrin Tower on the hill above Prague for some amazing views.






Also visited the mirror maze - good fun but a bit of a rip off!





Olomouc Zoo - 26th June



Took a day trip today from Ohrozim to Olomouc to check out the zoo.

We spent a great day there with the favourite animals for the boys being the new lion cubs, the goats, the stinky bat cave, and the cheetah at feeding time!





Jacob got a little too close...
