Prague

If I only had more days off and more money I would rather wander around this globe incessantly. Unfortunately the reality is a bit different ...But just a little bit though,
Not to whine about thereof more let me mention you another little trip I have embarked on two weeks ago. To detach myself from this overwhelming, hectic city, which Budapest indisputably is I went to Prague. Since I come from the north of Poland I don't usually go home every now and then for two major reasons. First of all as I have pointed out in the previous sentence is too far and the trip itself overtly strenuous and second of all I'm a bit selfish yes I do admit I'm selfish in a sense I would rather go and explore new places than coming back home to a place, which I do love but also know kinda perfectly. Not to get off track...

I went to Prague only for the weekend... But getting there took me like 11 hours by train (normally it takes 6 - don't freak out). Let me explain you why the trip on that marvelous train (NOT)took so much of my time. I reckon the train, which departs everyday around 8 is a night train and once it crosses the border with Slovakia it just stops for 3 hours. And you are like with 5 other people in the compartment *2nd class sans couchettes* with absolutely no space even to try to sleep properly. The downside of such travelling is that basically I turned into a paralitico over the night !


We (me and my Spanish companion) arrived in Prague early in the morning when probably most of you were moving to the other side of the bed after having painted the town red. Streets empty and you probably know by now stories of me getting lost around the world! I rock at it, simply the best etc. I was kind of lucky though because I understand Czech language so eventually we found out our hostel (after 3 hours of roaming around *awaits applause*)

Prague is definitely beautiful and has it charm, but I would never expect the prices to be that damn high. Never in my wildest dreams I would think of being charged for life music *60 czk without being informed beforehand. That's rude - don't do that people of Prague. Cmon we all know you are abundant with the number of tourists receiving each day. Don't be too greedy. Haven't you heard it's a sin?

I felt there as if I had returned home for a little bit. Similar language , food , culture, architecture. Yes I miss you Poland but let me get this straight until December Prague was a very fancy and sophisticated (temporary) replacement.

Now I'm getting ready for my summer belated holiday that will take place in October - Sicily - my long awaited dream!!! Stay tuned for more!
