Back from Prague!

I'm home again! :) Wow, the five days were over like so quickly. And I really shouldn't have worried about meeting [livejournal.com profile] yami_tai and her husband since they were super nice and really cool. Just like Tai's parents :) I enjoyed myself immensely.

We did a lot of exploring - we went to the National Museum, the Wenzeslau's Square and the Old Town's Square where we saw the astronomical clock, then we visited the St Nicholas Church and the Church of Virgin Mary Before Týn, and headed for the Charles' Bridge and down the Lesser Site and Kampa. On the next day we went up to the Prague Castle and spent the whole afternoon there. Though we still didn't see everything so we returned on the next day and climbed up on the tower of the St Vitus Cathedral (283 steps), then used the funicular to go up on the hill Petřín though the view-tower and the hall of mirrors were closed so we at least walked through the rose garden there and then headed for the Old Jewish Cemetery and the Spanish Synagogue.

And then we were so tired that we simply couldn't move a muscle anymore. Yesterday, it wasn't so bad but today, my whole being is aching - my feet, my legs, my back... and I'm like awfully tired here *yawn* I will post some of the pictures I made with my cell phone - as soon as I wake up that is. :)

This trip was really great and I'm so excited about it. I just hope that the pictures won't be too fuzzy :D

And to get back in the fangirly saddle, I made a new icon - a het one! *gasp* But I just love Kouhei and Hazuki from Tsukuyomi ~ Moon Phase!

Thank you, thank you! Yup, we had a lot of fun even though the whole exploring was "up and up we go" :D My poor poor feet!

I just saw a post by [personal profile] yami_tai. So glad you guys had a great time. Those steps sound like killers, though! ^___^

Glad to have you back!

Yup, the whole town is always up and down, up and down. As I said to Tai, I wished that some giant just slapped it flat for us :D To climb all the stairs was awful. If the stairs simply went up, it wouldn't be that bad but it was a spiral starcase not even one meter wide, there were people going up and down at the same time and there was no light and no open windows (which means no air). This was really a one time experience for me. Nobody would make me climb up there again! :D

Hehe... cool! Don't worry, I can be patient.

Do you have AIM or MSN or Yahoo! Messenger? I've got them all so if you want to chat let me know and we can exchange names ^_^ The time zones will probably be very different but it would be fine. If not, LJ is a wonderful thing too ^_^

Later sweetie!

And I hope that you're enjoying yourself in Brno. They are hoping to break the record this time. This year there should be more than 130 000 visitors!

Wow, really?! Graham told us that they were saying 80,000 on tv, and we thought that was a lot because we only have 75,000 on the entire Isle of Man!!!

Welcome back! I'm glad you had fun and I look forward to seeing your pics.

Thank you so much! As soon as I move my lazy behind, I will upload the photos.

I hope you feel better now after all the stress of the last couple of months! *smooch*

LJ is being stupid and won't let me respond directly to your last comment. Things aren't quite as stressful as they were but unfortunately, things will never get better. It is very hard watching your parents grow old, especially when they have health problems to the extent that my father has. He is literally like a little kid now, and it is hard to see and deal with. *sigh* I just hope and wish that no one else will ever have to go through what my mom and I are. Anyways, thanks for asking. I'm lucky to have such supportive and caring friends. Believe me, it means a lot to me. *hugs*
