Prague

[schneefink]

Weeks ago I briefly talked with marina about meeting up with her and tanndell and eatingclouds in Prague, and then I more or less forgot about it. Last Saturday I got a message asking if I was still interested. I proceeded to ignore the question over the weekend and then completely stress out about it on Monday. (Certain) spontaneous things are difficult for me, but DD convinced me to go. I'm so glad she did! I had a great time. The city is beautiful, the food was excellent, and the company was fantastic. I stayed for two nights. We visited the castle, did a boat tour with jazz music, walked around Old Town, went to one of Europe's best bars, watched a Bollywood movie and vids, and never got up early in the morning. I also got dozens of recs for shows and movies I should watch, for when I have free time am procrastinating again.
I have pictures, maybe one day I'll even get around to uploading them. (Why am I so bad with pictures.)

The day after I came back to Vienna I got sick :( Better now than a few days earlier, but it still sucks. It's the last warm weekend before we get autumn temperatures. My grandparents are currently in Vienna and I'll have to show them my flat, I just need to clean first. And I need to make myself to eat something even though my throat hurts and I need to find the energy to cook first, I'm doing so-so on that. I'm thankful I thought to buy some ready-made soup.
ETA: Cooked something and even ate a little bit. Small steps.

Next weekend is my newest cousin's baptism, 7 hours away, I'll probably go though all in all it'll be a few days. August is almost over and I'm behind on a lot of stuff. I had fun, but hopefully September will be more productive.

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear you got sick! Especially since you're on your own now. *hugs*

But Prague sounds lovely - I've never been, but maybe it's worth a visit?

Prague is definitely worth a visit! I have an advantage since it's only five hours away from Vienna by bus and the bus is very cheap, but if you like visiting beautiful cities Prague should be on that list. The food is great too: a friend of mine told me I have to try goulash and trndl (I think?), a sweet dough thingy they sell on the streets, and that was an excellent tip.

Not being alone when sick was one of the reasons why I didn't want to live alone, that didn't work out this time. Fortunately I have friends who live not too far away, but still. Lots of tea.

Ahh, sounds like Prague was lovely! Seems like it's good that you decided to go in the end.

(I'm terrible about uploading photos, too.)

I hope you're feeling better now?

I'm a bit better, thanks :)

Yeah, I'm really glad I went! I should have brought a souvenir for DD as thanks ;)

eeeeee Prague! I have been wanting to go to Prague for years! Glad you had such a great time.

I love spontaneous trips like that.

It's definitely worth a visit! I think I'm a bit nearer than you though so it's easier to arrange ;)
For me it depends, sometimes I like spontaneous things but sometimes they're too stressful. I'm glad that this time it worked out well.
