Travel Tuesday! The Adventures of Prague Part 2: A BVF Personal Story

The stories from our 2010 Annual Adventures continue. What a journey we had!! In Part 1 of our Adventures in Prague  http://bonvoyagefriends.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-adventures-of-prague-part-1-bvf.html , we shared some of the fun moments we had! 

The remainder of our trip was nothing short of uneventful, here are some highlights! 


We visited the Christmas Markets, the reason why we selected Prague to begin with. We found great gifts for family and friends.

We discovered a great place to eat, relax,  and write postcards to family and friends. We liked Papa Giovanni so much we went back! Papa Giovanni had great food and was reasonably priced. Check out their site www.papagiovanni-praha.cz/

 

Minestrone soup and delicious flat bread.

 We always make sure to enjoy an extra nice meal out and went with to Palffy Palac, which was recommended by Frommer's. 

Traditions continue! We enjoyed bubbly at the lounge.

Then we headed to the St. Charles Bridge and experienced the beautiful view below.

Of course, no journey is complete without some local flare and street musicians!

The winter weather conditions began to worsen as we got closer to the end of our trip.

Although the steps were icy, we made the trek to the top of the Prague Castle Compound. But as the snow was falling delicately, it was a breathtaking scene.

 A perfect treat while wandering around the cold city was the stop we made at the famed Cafe Savoy, yummy!

The day we were heading back to Gatwick, the snow continued to fall and blanket the city. There was a period of time when the skies began to clear and we were able to visit the genius architectural design of the "Dancing House" also referred to "Fred and Ginger", in honor of the famed dancing duo.

Prague is a jewel in Eastern Europe. If you're considering visiting, you won't be disappointing by this quaint city, stunning architecture, variety of flavours, performing arts, and shops with unique finds. Bon Voyage!!
