17 August Prague Sedlec Ossuary



We are keen to drive 70km east of Prague to Kostnice to see the Sedlec Ossuary. A church where some dirt from the holy land was sprinkled hundreds of years ago. Subsequently some 40,000 were buried here as it was seen as prestigious. When it got too full they dug them up and arranged the bones for display. It takes us about an hour to get there. I borrow Gregs gps and it doesn’t take the most direct route but it works. Ooo... I also drove the wrong way around a roundabout today. There were no other cars around. I’m surprised how quickly you can revert back to driving back on the left! The bones are impressive but I’m not sure if they are worth the drive out here.
Back at the hotel, the boys have had a day of walking around town. We try to find a clothes shop called New Zealand Auckland. They tried to hire the defender for a photo shoot in Queenstown last Xmas but I was too busy. They have some cool clothes all with NZ insignia on it. There are some 300+ shops in Europe but… it is not sold in NZ! We cant find it and I’ll try again somewhere else.





We have dinner in a swanky neighbourhood outside a synagogue. We watch some cops put a clamp on a rabbis car then take some money off him to to release it. Then we hear them absolutely laughing their heads off that they got cash out him as they drive away!
