Day 10 - Homeward Bound

After consuming so much wine the night before we had quite a late breakfast. Jarek and Tomas joined us to try and eat our way through a mountain of palačinky. Pancakes to us. We'd packed and loaded the suitcases the day before and I had the Garmin sorted well in advance. Firstly, after saying our goodbyes, a nostalgic trip to the Gymnázium in Zastávka and then across to where I used to live in Sportovní 481. The plan was then to visit the Santini designed  Pilgrimage  Church  of Saint John of Nepomuk near  Žďár nad Sázavou  and then to The Church of Bones ( Sedlec Ossuary) . We were told by "experts" that neither was worth a stop. Wrong. Pilgrimage  Church  of Saint John of Nepomuk You can blame Charley Boorman and Ewan McGregor for the Sedlec visit. They went there on the "Long Way Round" trip and I harboured the interest to vist. Both sights are well worth the detour.  The Church of Bones near Kutna Hora is weird rather than frightening. Macabre...
