We stopped at Kutna Hora Kostnice (Bone Church) a couple of years ago, but because it was on the way, and because Elena could not remember it, we took a small detour and visited again. It is always an eye-opener to see the sheer number of skulls and bones and how it is all put together. The centre piece, the chandelier, is made up using every bone in the human body. Strangely it does not feel at all eerie, but actually quite a friendly and cheerful place as all the skulls smile at you from their various positions, smug in the knowledge that they are celebrated and not slowly rotting under the ground.
