a very last minute trip to Prague, Czech Republic
this is one feat for the books. last weekend was ascension holiday and we had no plans for the long weekend. our family friends were set to go on a trip to prague - two families and a single - together. we, on the other hand, didn't quite plan on anything - we were home bound. well, we do want to join them, but the airfare was quite high and the overnight train trip was expensive, as well. so, we decided to just have a go to prague another time, under a more reasonable price ;)... but i have a mole on the sole of my feet, and if you know our pinoy pamahiins, people w/ that are lakwatsera's. and i guess, being lakwatsera by nature, the long weekend was too tempting to just stay home or within the country. so friday came and we still had nothing planned, i surfed the net, and looked at the airline websites again (as i've been doing for the past week). out of the blue i decided to check the flights from a different airport... and what do you know! i found the best flight schedule i could think of. i was actually looking for a latter date trip, but the dates weren't just right, so i consulted hubby, asked him if he could squeeze in two days of leave... he said he couldn't, i was sad. it was the perfect schedule for us, low-priced airfare, the little one was still free, the eldest was at a reduced airfare rate and the days and time were just right... although the weather forecast mild showers, still it was just perfect! i was still asking him the same questions until he finally thought maybe he can give it a shot. so he filed his leave and we're set to go! i booked the flights and the accomodation in a blink of an eye and told our friends who were already there that we're on our way to join them in the excursion, and we'll be staying for 4 days! yipeee! :)  prague is just a beautiful city, #1 in our list right now. you see, we went to paris, and was really really impressed, and then we went to barcelona and barcelona topped paris for us. and now, prague is just at the top of our charts! the city is so rich in history, charm and is just amazing. from the old town, to prague castle, the vtlava river, the charles bridge and the entire city itself... is just full of history! it is indeed a gem of europe, one of the most beautiful cities, indeed and it was especially enchanting at night. and the food was great, too! :)     we were truly blessed to be able to go and hear mass in the Church of Our Lady Victorious – where the miraculous Prague Infant Jesus is. it was the coronation feastday of the sto. nino, so many pinoys mostly from cebu were on a pilgrimage there and we even had free lunch because of the occasion. :)   so if you're planning on touring europe, i highly recommend paying a visit to prague for at least 3 days. and if you're up for more photos, just click here for some images of the old town, the prague castle, the vtlava river, the charles bridge and much more! enjoy! it's one of my dream destinations come true, indeed! :) |
