Wander Beyond Boundaries: Czech Republic

Prague: Trdelnik

Trdelnik, traditional Hungarian baked specialty where it is now adopted by Germany, Austria and Czech as their own. Often time, it is served fresh.

What is it?

Essentially, it's dough rolled on a stick that is then baked over coal burning fire and topped off with sugar and your choice of topping: cinnamon, vanilla, almonds, cocoa.
Sound familiar? I thought it was the German's knüppelteig at first sight.

I stumbled upon such a delicious delight during my venture through old town Prague. Not looking for dessert at all but I had to try it & I loved it.

Prague: sightseeing

Prague, Czech Republic

Welcome to Prague, Czech Republic.

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.

One of the many alleyway of Prague.

Coffee anyone?

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.

Starbucks, Prague.

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.

Colourful buildings.

The architectural design and the contrast of colors.

ICE PUB PRAGUE, chilly atmosphere with a room made completely of ice with a temperature below zero and serving cocktails in ice glasses. It was a must stop location. With insulated jackets and gloves provided it made it a more bearable to be in for the time limit of 25 minutes. Being in that environment reminded me of the cold winter days in Canada I left behind in March. & at some part of our venture in the ice cold pub, I was a DJ dropping beats... kidding.
