This isn't the moon, it's the depth of the Czech Republic. On a blazing hot afternoon we were desperately seeking a way to be cool. Summer cinema is in quick decline and swimming would only take us into that evil sun. So, we decided to go to the bowels of the earth where it is dark and cool.We drove a little ways outside of Prague, near the river town of Beroun to Koněpruské jeskyně. These caves gave us the refreshment we craved, and quite an education as well.
The tour took us through tight passages and echoing organ rooms. Each stop on the tour had a little piece of history waiting for us. There was a room where ancient extinct monkey bones had been found and another room where counterfeiters pounded out cooper coins covered in a thin layer of silver just a few hundred years ago.
Koněpruské jeskyně was an oasis of chill in the dessert of summer....But I would recommend it for any time.
