Kutná Hora Day Trip (Pt. 4 – Dinner)
At last, we got some dinner. We went to this hotel called U Hrnčiře that has a restaurant serving meat dishes and a large variety of vegetarian dishes. I read about it on WikiTravel, and I’m glad I had my meal here! I got some amazing soy goulash and potato pancakes. Both were quite spicy [...]
Kutná Hora Day Trip (Pt. 3 – The City)
From the cathedral we walked a few kilometers to the center of town in search of food. The cute pinkish buildings complimented the sky quite well. There weren’t many (any?) people around at all. (Church of St. Barbara is to the right)
Kutná Hora Day Trip (Pt. 2 – Cathedral)

Funny how lots of people totally dress up really fancy like — I was wearing jeans and a hoodie. My roommate treated me as [...]
