Today kicks off the beginning of my last Europe trip for a while.
“Corina, you’ve had so much bad luck, why do you always risk making more traumatizing memories?” Good question. I have no idea. Nah. It’s because this week is the longest break I’ve had from school, and I knew if I didn’t take advantage of it, I would regret it. So, I contacted Monique, a fellow SGL studying in Prague, asking if she would be down to hang, and I booked my flight, booked my hostel, packed my bags, and arrived in a fairytale kingdom. My first full day consisted of sightseeing and eating – what else is new? I stopped by Bakeshop for breakfast and I literally had to look at every single bread, loaf, cookie, croissant, cake, brownie, and pastry about three times, because the prices still confused me (~23czk for $1) and because I really couldn't decide on just a few. I made my way to Vyšehrad, which was a beautiful fort alongside the water. Despite the cloudy weather, this was probably one of the nicest views I’ve ever seen. It overlooks the city and every step you take, you get to see a brand new perspective. I originally tried to make my way to a restaurant called Kantyna, but after Google Maps took me around in circles for a solid 20 minutes, I gave up and threw in a different restaurant into my GPS. After being thrown in circles for 10 minutes after that, I finally ended up at Lokal. I read that this place is really popular with both the lokals (hahaha get it, lokals, because that’s the name of the restaurant) and the tourists. I got a small portion of the braised pork shoulder and the smažený sýr (deep fried cheese) and I’d say both of them were just alright :/ I thought I’d be in loveeee with the smažený sýr but it was such a big portion (100g) that by the time it was out of the oil and on my table, it was already starting to get cold, and within the first five minutes, I was basically just eating a big chunk of breaded cheese. Prague was much colder than I had anticipated, and it was torturous to walk in the -2C weather without proper clothes, so I stopped by the Chocolate Museum in the city center, and ended up buying a ticket to enter the museum and a ticket for the chocolate workshop. Lowkey, the chocolate museum was pretty lame HAHA but I legit took a good €9 worth of free chocolate samples so I guess it wasn’t too bad. The chocolate workshop was pretty cool too but because it was in the glass window that everyone could see, I felt like an awkward caged animal making chocolate by myself.
