I visited Prague for the first time in May and I was hosted by my dear friend Pavla on the Chaplinovo street, which is Charlie Chaplin in Czech, and by Viktor who taught me lots of Czech traditions and their lovely turtle who didn't find me that lovely as I was invading her private space. Anyway, I spent some four full touristic days there and if it weren't for the rainy weather I would have enjoyed the city even more. That is just one more reason to go there again.
Prague felt like the greenest city I have seen yet, and the Art Nouveau spread around just made my days sunnier. The photo with Hotel Pariz was taken as a reminder for a movie I also recommend I served the King of England and was designed by Alfons Mucha, the great Czech painter/designer, who immediately takes me to Beth's tattoo (complicated ways my mind has). I followed a Lonely Planet guide all the time, and I lost myself in the quiet almost deserted Jewish Cemetery, visited the Museum of Communism (very good posters and materials, but rather crowded), had a hike on the hill, ate at the same cheap Chinese store, drank very cheap and delicious beer, ate again some tasty pickled cheese (if I am not mistaken, as it is a type of food to go with beer and I ate it at my second or third one) and I enjoyed some quality time with my hosts. Had a great time and can't wait to go back.
Also as I am writing I remembered the quote I read in the Museum of Communism, quote by J.V. Stalin: "One death is a tragedy, a million deaths is statistic".
Destination: first time in Prague
PS: I will be traveling around Europe for the next months, so I will be back sometime in August with hopefully lots of exciting experiences and stories to tell. ENJOY your summer, as it might be the hottest you've yet seen and felt.
