As leaves change colours from summery greens to beautiful warm red, orange and yellows. It is also, when Biergarten switches over to Weingarten serving specialty wines such as federweißer or glühwein. One way to celebrate the end of summer is through the numerous weinfest that goes on throughout the months of September and October. Wine and chilly nights goes hand in hand. Regardless, of how much I miss the summer sun...

Well at least, I do.

My rediscover hobby. Forgot how therapeutic baking can be.

 

For those who says, watch out for your belongings and scams while in Prague. You may have your heart stolen faster than anything else. I think I may have willingly left mines there in the heart of the city just for an excuse to come back. With the beautiful architectural designs from the ground up and every alleyway I walked through, I was in complete awe. The trip was way too short but sweet.

Who wouldn't want to sit for a coffee with the view of the city over your shoulder. & isn't this the cutest Starbucks café ever? My internal Starbucks addiction was itching to come out after a long hibernation since my move to Germany. The thought of a pumpkin spice latte almost had me weak to my knees... almost caved but I already had too many cups of coffee prior.

It is not an European country without a castle and cathedral ... so of course, had to make a stop to some of the well known landmarks. The Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral located on the opposite side of the old town square of Prague. Prague castle being one of the oldest and largest castle in the world. St. Vitus cathedral, a similar gothic architectural design as the Kölner Dom but not as big yet still breath-taking up close. 

Here are some pictures of beautiful architecture. In other words my 'future' flat... the big tall windows and beautiful door entrance, my ultimate dream of a home.

,lPrague, isn't it a but early for Christmas? & glühwein...

WOW is right, lady... this street art nailed it.

In other words, Saxony Switzerland though has no relation to Switzerland since it is located at the south but it does border Czech Republic. It only got its name due to its resemblance of the hilly aspects of Switzerland.

Another well-known landmark in Säshsische schweiz is Festung Konigstein, a castle. It can not be Germany without a castle. However, this one is particularly different among the many castles I have seen while living here. There is a little town within the castle and located on top of a hill, you have a fantastic panoramic view of the entire townscape and the Elbe. With various people dressed up to the time period, it gives you a perspective of how it was like to live in a castle and in all honesty, the little girl inside me was jumping for joy. Also, maybe it is the Game of Thrones influence but the entire time there I was imagining how it was like during time of attack and did not help that there were numerous cannons surrounding the perimeter of the castle. As well as actually launching of cannons.
