Yesterday we rented a car and set off to
Kutna Hora , a small town south east of Prague. We had our trusty TomTom with us so we were ready to hit the road. We got on the highway and everything was going smoothly then there was traffic. We saw a sign for Kutna Hora that was going to send us in a direction that was different than the TomTom directions. The TomTom fought us for a little while. It kept wanting us to turn around but we just kept driving until teh TomTom finally accepting we were going to take a different route and gave in and provided appropriate directions. As we kept driving we came to a point where half the road was blocked off. The signage was all in Czech and two cars in front of us went around the blockade so we followed suit. Luckily it wasn't long until we found out wy the road was blocked off...the bridge that had been there had been dismantled and there was no way to get across the road. Oh well, we turned around and went back to the blockade and took a right. It worked out fine. The drive there was
nice and we drove past beautiful fields of Sunflowers. We arrived in Kutna Hora at lunch time. We parked and ate lunch at the restaurant that was right near where we parked. It was a really good lunch. It still surprises me how cheaply you can eat meals out. Here is the picture of my food - French fries, grilled pork and some veggies. This meal only cost 75Kc ($3.60USD)!! We sat in the garden of the restaurant so we were able to enjoy being outside. The restaurant also had a sandpit with toys for the kids to play in which was great. The kids got to play while we waited for our meal and then when they were finished they went back to playing while we finished. It made for a nice relaxing lunch. After lunch we set off to explore the town. It is a cute town with winding cobblestone streets. The most impressive site there was the church - St Barbara's Cathedral.
We reached it just as the rain started too so it was perfect timing. Sofia is getting good at looking for things in pictures/statues etc. We often have her look for babies which she enjoys. Both girls like seeing the pics of babies and statues and they both like seeing the stained glass so we can actually walk through places like St Barbara's without too much worry of the kids being bored. I can't say we go at a slow pace but I think we have found a happy compromise between how much the kids can take and how much we want to see.
