capri by audrey: Prague

JOYOUS CHRISTMAS AND A BLESSED 2010 TO EVERYONE! I HOPE ALL YOUR WISHES COME TRUE THIS YEAR.

Well again it's been a while since my last update so I thought I would upload some stuff from my recent trip to Prague. I have to admit that Prague was not one of those cities that I've always wanted to visit. I know many people say Prague is one of the most romantic or beautiful cities in Europe or the world, but somehow I've never really felt the urge to go.

But anyway, a few curious coincidences later, I found myself in Prague not too long ago. There is some truth to what people say. The city is pretty, food is good and affordable, and there is a certain charm about it. I can see why some people love it so much. Am I one of them? Probably not, but you can judge for yourself.

I was only there for three days so I don't think I had the chance to soak in everything about the city. I'm sure there is a lot more to Prague and I'm only skimming the surface. My first impression was a city filled with a quaint charm about it. Even though certain areas were infested with throngs of tourists, the city still seemed larger than just that.

Here are a few pictures of the city:

One of the highlights of the trip was the food. Food generally was good quality and affordable. Apart from the small little shops, I also had the chance to have dinner at Kampa Park along the river beside Charles Bridge. I think the food was good but not outstanding, although the atmosphere and view more than made up for it. I don't normally take photos of food but it was a special occasion so here goes.

Squid ink risotto yummy

Foie Gras starter

Seafood bouillabaisse

Of course what would a trip to Prague be like without a few churches, clock towers and castles! But I must say it was never a case of being overwhelmed with too many.
