All the way from Canada to beautiful Dresden! Couldn't have been a better way to start off the month then having one of my favorite visit.

Make Linda fall in love with what I fell in love with from the moment I stepped foot into the city.

May or may have not work since she did board that flight...

I did try my best and showed the charm this city had to offer along with taking a day trip to beautiful Prague. I still fall in love with city every time I cross the bridge from Neustadt to Altstadt or vice versa.

Another off the bucket list, Oktoberfest 2014 conquered with the help of my partner in crime, Janne.

Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany otherwise known as the Wiesn. One of the world largest beer festival in the world. Definitely an experience that I don't know if I would like to repeat again. Not that it was not fun, it was an amazing time. A drunken mess to be more precise but once is more than enough for me. I don't know how people do it, drink before 10am and continue till late afternoon or sometimes till close... & most of the time, this is repeated everyday for x amount of days. I only made it out to the wiesn 2 out of the 4 days I was there but I was physically exhausted, for which I felt I needed a week to completely recover. Sorry liver.

 

There were numerous different tents serving various brews from Bavaria. However, we only made it to one tent, Fischer Vroni. It was one of the tent that were relatively easier to get in, we managed to get a table under 15 minutes. Impressive? I must say so. Many mass biers later, we joined in on table dancing, which is a lot safer than sitting down. Along with meeting various people from all over as well making friends with the security and chef from the kitchen. This was a plus! Made is so much easier to get in the same tent on the Friday, which happens to be a holiday throughout Germany. Tents were full by 11am... and I did not make it out to the wiesn till about 17:00! So my tip to people who don't want to pay the expensive prices of table reservation at Oktoberfest. I say go on the weekday when its not so busy, get drunk and make friends with the security and staff there.

Thank you for the good company along with the many nights of silly pillow talks.

Managed to do a bit of sightseeing during the hustle and bustle of Oktoberfest. Though it was only one stop, Marienplatz... better than nothing.

Home sweet home, back to beautiful Dresden along with my handsome dude.

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.
