The Czech Republic’s Church of Bones

This week I present yet another travel destination for those that enjoy their vacations with a slightly morbid touch.

It’s called The Holy Land Experience (not to be confused with the defunct Holy Land USA in Connecticut) and no, it’s not a casino in Las Vegas. It’s an Orlando, Florida amusement park that attempts to recreate the look and feel of Biblical Jerusalem, complete with Jesus-and God-themed attractions and presentations.
