Eastern Europe Holiday Series - Part 1: Hello, Prague!

Lama eh tunggu aku nak blog pasal Europe?

 

Tapi lama tak lama sangatlah bradder, baru dua bulan ago je balek dari Europe. Bukannye dua tahun. Kalau dah dua tahun, sambil menunggu aku dah boleh beranak dua, tiga siol. Haha.

The reason why I hegeh sangat nak blog pasal Europe is because I don't know how and where to even start. It's so overwhelming! So many cities, so many experiences, so many feels.....

Te-ta-pi kan, I ada banyak cerita macam mana pun, I will try to keep this series short and sweet since I dah janji to produce shorter blog entries kan? So this is how I've decided to do this series:

• 1 blog entry on Prague
• 1 blog entry on Dresden and Berlin
• 1 blog entry on Poznan and Krakow
• 1 blog entry on Krakow
• 1 blog entry on Budapest
• 1 blog entry on Vienna 
• 1 blog entry on Salzburg and Munich
• 1 final blog entry on everything

The first 6 entries will have minimal words and selection of my favourite pictures and then I will end it off with 1 final entry, where I will mention my favourite sights and sounds, elaborate on experiences, share my discoveries, reminisce on memories and then wrap up the whole series with my general thoughts and feelings.

 Boleh? Boleh.

Now let my Eastern Europe blog series begin!

Of course kita mesti begin dengan Bismillah... and mandatory shot of our flight tickets lololol

It was Saliheen and I punya first time taking Emirates, by the way! We were a little apprehensive because we were so used to SQ's comfort and hospitality and didn't know what to expect with Emirates. Ada orang cakap lagi bagus, ada orang cakap lagi teruk, so there was no saying how our virgin Emirates experience was gonna go. 

So *how* did the flights go????? Nanti final entry, I cerita ye. 

For now, you tengok lah all the beauty that Prague (our first European stop!) has to offer:

 The journey into the city of Prague was so beautiful and scenic! Felt myself relax every minute!

Unfortunately, we had to go for a mandatory beer factory tour right after we landed but I'm not going to blog about that lah since it was not particularly interesting lolz.

Tapi nasib baik it was straight to the hotel right after the beer factory tour and since we were in need for ample rest after such long flights, I was very happy when we checked in to this:

So warm and cosy this Clarion Congress Hotel! Even comes with free in-room Wifi! I suka!

We had a more packed itinerary the next day so our second day in Prague was a whole lot more interesting. And it looked something like this!

That's the gorgeous St Vitus Cathedral, which is the biggest and most important church in Prague, and my absolute favourite to visit and explore!

And this is a part of the Charles Bridge. With love locks!

That's the famous Astronomical Clock in Old Town Square, of course. I don't know why but it makes me so happy to know that I've heard and seen it in person! The structure is amazing! And I don't know what was happening in the last picture but it looked like these four fine ladies went on holiday with their baju traditional lolz

We broke off for lunch after the Astronomical Clock chimed at 12pm, and we had about 4 hours of free time after lunch so we spent the time walking around the Old Town Square. Just lots and lots of walking! I think the only reason why we didn't gain weight from all that eating in Europe is because we walked for freaking miles.

We were still feeling peckish when we returned to our hotel so we walked over to the shopping mall which was connected to our hotel and discovered a halal joint! So apa lagi...

NOMZ NOMZ NOMZ.

My doner set was masin but hey, I was finally in Europe so who the hell cares, amirite? We finished wolfing down our food and prepped ourselves for bed because Dresden and Berlin awaits the next day!
