This afternoon I’ll be leaving for yet another visit to the beautiful and cozy Prague. I had been thinking about going by train, but decided to scrap that idea. If I would travel via Fran in Germany it would take me almost 16 hours of travel including 6 or 7 changeovers, costing me way to much time. By air the trip will take me just a little hour.

This time I will visit Zuza together with Franziska, so it promises to be a nice weekend filled with tourist attractions, combined with a nice doze of German and Czech language. Of course I’ll go and find the typical Absinth spoon which I need to perform the perfect Absinth drinking ritual.

To bad it’s over already. My very nice weekend visiting Prague went past way to fast. At least I enjoyed myself a lot and I’m already looking forward to next month when I will visit Zuza again. Next month I will not take the plane (time required: 1:10) but I’ll take the train (time required: 12:00), because I’ll be going together with Francesca. The funny thing is that I cannot recall her, but after some mails she reassured me that she would recognize me. Well, at least we’ll have something to talk about while we spend a lot of time sitting in the train.

I’m home again and I’m pretty tired. According to the Czech people beer can be compared to a kind of liquid bread. If this is really the case then the last week I have drank quite a large amount of bread.

Breakfast in the Czech republic was normally a sandwich with a beer and a shot of liquor. Sometimes breakfast was just some liquor made from berries, mixed with hot water. Afterwards the touristic part of the day started. My guide Zuza showed me various parts of the beautiful Prague. We started out viewing big parts of the city during the day and visiting a lot of bars during the evening. As the week progressed the time we spend in bars drinking and eating also increased quite a lot.

The result was a very nice week. Prague is a great city that I will have to visit again soon :-)

Carnival is a party that needs to be celebrated, and it needs to be celebrated good! In Prague they celebrate carnival really good.

I just went to some awesome club, Palaca Acropolis in the Zizkov neighborhood (of course in Prague), and the stage in this club was full of people partying.

They celebrated carnival with close to all musical instruments you can think of, and the result was very nice. It resembled a combination of the Blues Brothers and Vive la Fete, with the only difference that the music was played a lot faster : -p

Since a few days I’m home again after a very tiring but very enjoyable snowboard vacation. Tomorrow I head over to Prague, to visit Eliska and Zuza :-)

I had planned to go by train, but the costs are higher then the airplane, and it needs to be arranged weeks in advance. Going by plane is a lot of hassle booking everything last minute, so I think I’ll try my luck and go by car.

I am very curious… after some research I found out Prague is a beautiful historic city and I’ll be visiting the perfect guide that live in the middle of it all. Still I’m going to buy a tourist guide, together with a bottle of berry brandy and a packet of cookies to be well prepared. ;-)
