Last weekend was another one for
traveling. I went to Prague with 4 of my friends who are studying in London and
we were all so happy with our decision to go! Prior to going we really had no
idea of what to expect however we had heard so many good things about the city
that we knew we had to go!
Not knowing
anything about the London when we booked our flights, we of course chose the
farthest airport to leave from at 6:15am. Once finally planning the week of the
trip we realized we needed to leave at 3am in order to get there on time…a
rough beginning to the trip but never the less worth it.
After dropping our bags at the
apartment we were staying at we headed out for lunch at a place recommended by
friends. It was about 95 degrees out and after walking up a mountain in the
middle of the city we were all dying. We were rewarded with a beautiful view of
the city and amazing food. Plus there was a wedding taking place as we ate…
Lunch and a show! After lunch we found the John Lennon wall, one of the few
things we knew we had to do while there. We all agreed one of the best parts of
the wall was the performer in from of it because he sounded exactly like Lennon.
Finding the Philly LOVE sign at the John Lennon wall!
The next two days were full of
exploring the city and food. Highlights include a boat tour, a traditional
Czech dessert called a chimney and stumbling upon a great designer discount
store. I never thought Prague would have great shopping, and while compared to
Paris and London there weren’t as many stores however the one we did find was
great. It was full of designer clothing all being sold at a discount. While
some of the clothing was a little out there for my taste the store had TONS of
different scarves and I got an Alexander McQueen scarf for a great price. I had
been wanting to get something special to remember my time abroad by and it
defiantly fulfilled that desire.
I went from knowing nothing about
Prague to loving the city in the three short days that we were there and I’m
sure everyone I was traveling with would say the same thing!

So glad you guys had fun! I was happy to be see you, even if it was just for a little. Do you remember what the store was called? I've been dying for some good shopping since getting to Prague. Hope the rest of your travels are amazing!
