Kutná Hora

This is the first weekend of my CELTA course. It's been fun with a bit of work, but not heavy yet. So, I decided to get out of town. Kutná Hora is a UNESCO listed town and the first Czech town I've seen outside of Prague. This place is well worth a visit!

Notice the horse-drawn carriage in the background:


This random little house reminded me of the middle ages for some reason:

I spent about five hours wandering around this town by myself feeling as though I were the only tourist for miles. Then, as I entered the main square in search of food, a bus full of Japanese tourists arrived and proceeded to take over the town. It was wild! Everyone kind of stopped and stared for a moment as they snapped pictures and chattered loudly.

I ended up eating some marginal pizza and then slipped back into the empty alleyways and parks in hopes of keeping a step ahead of them.
