Day 7 - Best / worst vacation #Blogtober14

Today´s promt: My best and worst vacation

Duh, I had a lot of really good vacations and I´ve been to so many lovely places. Choosing one as best is really hard. But I think I will go with my latest vacation, which was one of many trips to beautiful PRAGUE.

Prague is always amazing. I can´t get enough of it. As it is just a 3-4 hour ride I´m in Prague quite often. I know the city and all tourist attractions already, so I don´t need to see something new, I don´t need to run through the city with a map in hands all the time. I can really enjoy being in vacation at a place I know very well. I enjoy maundering through the beautiful old town, settle down for a coffee, go on walking through the streets, crossing Charles Bridge, changing to Hradčany and Lesser Town and visiting Prague Castle. Maybe settling down for another coffee, just relaxing and watching the people walking by. 

In the evening Prague offers many nice restaurants, bars and clubs. Also the hotels are stunning. You will find good bargains for amazing hotels with great service. My latest stay was at ArtDeco Imperial, I can really recommend that one. 

If you want to have a nice dinner outside, you should stop by at the rooftop terrace of the Hotel U Prince, where you have an amazing view over Old Town Square.

Enough said, enjoy some pictures:

  This is at the rooftop terrace at Hotel U Prince. Like I said, really lovely and the serve great food. Also at affordable prices. In the back you can see a bit of the lit sights, quite a touching atmosphere!

More interested in nightlife? Don´t miss to check out Black Angel´s bar at Hotel U Prince. It´s a New York style cocktail bar, in my opinion serving the best cocktails in town. Also at very affordable prices.

My worst vacation: Berlin. Not because of the city, just because of snow and rain and hail. We spent a long weekend in Berlin around Easter time 2012. We didn´t expect summer temperatures, but nobody thought it would be bittercold, rainy, windy and even hailing. I think we didn´t even took any showable pictures, because it was soo uncomfortable outside. 

Travel Tuesday - Dublin

It´s Travel Tuesday over at Helene In Between and I spontaneously decided to share some pictures of Dublin with you. It´s still one of my favourite travel destinations (though it´s always in competiton with Edinburgh).

back in 2007... I looked soo young that time...

That week - Part 2 - a unique weekend getaway

 Either way I had to leave town for 3 days to go for my studies. On the one hand this was just the worst timing ever. I´m going there once a month and this has to be exactly in that week?? That´s just not fair. On the other hand this was the only week in over a year where classes finished at Saturday noon instead of Saturday evening. It´s that one exception in my master´s programme that gave me the chance of being home on Saturday evening. With Aaron´s flat all empty and still lots of things to cope with, we set out for our own weekend romance and booked a nice hotel in our town.

We had a nice stay in that beautiful hotel, I wish I´d had more time and my camera with me.Aaron created that tiny adorable mini bar outside the window. Blame me for the bad pic :)

Will tell you more about my outfit for Sat night in a what-I-wore-post soon :)

Taking a journey..... to Hamburg, Germany

Today I want to share my latest travel experiences with you. I´ve been to Hamburg with friends two weeks ago, exploring the city, walking mile after mile (I still hear the complaints, but hey - I have a dog, I´m simply used to walking A LOT), visiting the beautiful Disney musical Tarzan, spending a bunch of money to visit the restaurant of a around here famous TV cook and last but not least: we climbed the "Michel", a church tower you can walk up if you don´t mind that it´s 453 steps up there.

Well now, enjoy the pictures :)

As I´ve been there in February the light was just bad to take pictures, so I grabbed some professional photos that you can get an impression.
