ABOUT A JAPANESE GIRL

Hello everyone, who is still coming and reading these lines :)

As much as I am trying to keep this little blog alive I am struggling. With time and life. And even tho I am on a vacation back home, the weather outside makes me sleepy and all I can actually do is watch telly and read some book - even that is complicated! I keep telling myself that I deserve it, that when uni starts again, I will overwhelmed with studying and working. But oh well. Still. I feel sorry.

But to stop pitting myself here are some snaps from my trip to Vienna from last weekend. Visited my friends Polona and Bojan, who I know for ages almost :) Met them in Paris together with Kitty, Miguel and dozen of cool people. And happily managed to keep in touch. 

Also managed to meet Nora, my friend from Berlin, who I haven't seen let's say in 2 years. But now things improved and we live closer to each other. I mean everyone now. Vienna is like my very own melting pot, where I am able to always find some friends :)

So thank you for having a Sisi Fruhstuck with me, for taking me to the zoo and for the best sushi I've ever tasted. Japanese Girl. Will be back for you! x

There's a new Polardom in the zoo!! Amazing!

EAT DIAMONDS FOR BREAKFAST

Hello lovelies!

The b-day weekend is over, my stand by mode is now completely off and once I've arrived back home I've spend the whole day just watching old series on TV.

But back to MY birthday. The very first and very special card arrived the earliest. In the beginning of August and I was waiting maybe too long to publish it for you and everyone. But when I found it in my post bow I was speechless. First thinking of someone playing prank on me, but NO. That's what you get when being a customer. 

That's emotion. That's loyalty. That's Tiffany! I wonder whether Audrey knew?

How about you? Did you ever get something unexpected on your birthday? 

Have a happy evening everyone! xo

SICILY - BECAUSE ONE CAN NEVER GET FED UP WITH ITALY

Hello summer lovelies!

There are those places that will always be a good idea - no matter what / food, people, culture, shopping, drinks, bars, sea, beaches,.../ - and one out of them is ITALY. Got really lucky this summer to have a chance to taste also the treats of Sicily and oh boy, got inspired for the next summer 2015 - roadtrip!!!

We made it only to the ancient town Taormina, which really, really, really reminded me of Capri. Posh, exclusive, expensive. But also historic, picturesque and lovely. The perfect mixture.

The Greek Theater, ice-cream called Etna, which was actually marzipan flavor, the view at the volcano and pretty ceramics. Once again I hunted down the bowl for lemons! Yeeey my secret obsession ;-)

Here I offer you some snaps from the perfect day!

On a ferry...

It was sooo hot that dogs were laying in the middle of the street!

Pretty ceramics everywhere.

Teatro Greco

 Breathtaking views 

REMINISCING ABOTU ITALIAN HOLIDAY - WE ARE BACK!

Hello summer beauties!

I can't believe that it's been almost a week ever since I was waking up with the view over the sea! Even thought I have literally 3 windows in my room, I am apparently missing the 4th one, which would show me the sea also here in Prague. Sad times!

But hey! I still have zillion of photos to show you of Calabria - one of the most beautiful region in Italy. And do I even have to mention the beauty of Italian food?? Naaah, you know me already :)

So here are some summer snaps from family vacation, this part basically from our beach time and a trip to Tropea, which is called the pearl of Calabria, but honestly, I've seen prettier pearls!

Enjoyyy!

No, it's not a toy car!!! ha-ha

This is the view I've been talking and writing about for so long! What do you think?

Beach time - far far in the background you can see Stromboli - vulcanooo! 

My 50s beach look!

Eating gelato from some very old guy Tonino, who won even some price for it! Quite frankly, tartuffa (which btw comes from town Pizzo in Calabria, is wayyy better) 

The super lovely beach in Tropea!!! 

RETRO WEEKEND

Lovely ladies,

before departing on a real vacation to the real sea - I am sending you greetings and memories from our last retro weekend, which my girls and I spent at the lake outside of the city. Totally felt like in some movie from the 60s and thought that this had to be a dream holiday in 1968, when the boarders were closed and Croatia was the most exotic place to be / no offense! But that's how life used to be - probably/

It must have been one of the hottest days this summer and we were lucky enough that: 1/ Lubka has a car. 2/ Lubka decided to split her time between us and her boyfriend. 3/ Water was cold and refreshing. Weather was not SO hot. And frappe was delicious! What more can you possibly dream of, right?

So now back to packing and deciding whether 2 pairs of swimsuits are just enough and how many tanks I need for an Italian holiday.

Stay with me and bare with me and I promise I'll be back soon!

Hugs&kisses!

IT'S ALL ABOUT SUMMER, MOVIES AND APEROL

Hello summer beauties!

I don't know why but today the whole day I was living a dream and fantasy that it's actually FRIDAY! And guess what?! It's NOT - sadly :( 

Summer time in Prague is grand. All those open air movies, parties and drinks. On Tuesday we went with my friends and co-workers for a summer cinema at the river side. Do I have to tell you that we haven't watched the first half of the movie AT ALL? That we spent it talking and drinking Aperol Spritz, which was the main drink of the event. Sitting on the blanket on a green grass - oh perfect dating place - LOL. 

And which was the movie? Italian LA VITA E BELLA. Bittersweet. A tiny bit depressing. But still sweet and funny - at certain point of view. 

What are you doing during summer evenings and night? I am desperately waiting for Friday to finally roll in, so I can check another summer movie theater - yaaay!

Have a happy happy Friday everyone!

Lenka, xx

I've told you it was all about Aperol... :)))

THE SECOND PART OF FAIRYTALE WEEKEND

Hello lovelies!

As I promised you the last time, I am coming back with the second part of the summer weekend delight. This time from Marianske lazne (google it!), which is another fancy spa town close to the borders with Germany. This time no spa for us, but next time I will not be that strong to say NO! 

What can I tell you about this trip? How we got lost, drove on a super tiny road, saw beautiful landscape and then in the end the GPS was really right and brought us to our final destination? Oh well, I have to admit, I was skeptical...;-)

We walked around, breathed fresh air and pretended that time didn't exist. Or maybe it really doesn't when you're surrounded my your soul-mates, friends and basically your second you - as I like to call Lucka, due to our identical and impeccable taste in almost EVERYTHING :D

Hope you all had a happy and successful Monday! Keep on shining! 

Lenka, xxx

 

 

 Definitely not like a statue...:))

The prettiest girls!

BORN AGAIN - BACK TO THE BLOG SUMMER

First of all - SORRY! To all of you or maybe just to the two of you - I've been absent (and not only minded), but now trying to win you all back - AGAIN!

I promised to my friend Csilla (who's currently in Mexico and blogging for you at themoreIsee), that I'll come back to blogging and keep her and you updated on the tiny details of my life and summer in Prague. As I like to say and repeat myself - life happened and here I am on Sunday evening typing these lines for you, which I should have done weeks ago.

So here is my first part of my first holiday trip - apart from traveling back to Slovakia, which simply doesn't count for the reason being - to Karlsbad, a.k.a. Karlove Vary - very Russian and very posh town in the Western part of Bohemia. My friends and colleagues from work took a trip to this town for the International Film Festival but in the end we haven't seen any movie. Instead we decided to stroll around the city and take some other trip - about which I'll tell you for sure tomorrow (now when I finally have some snaps, I need to divide them and save them so you and I will have a motivation to come here again :))

Hope all of you are having a fab summer evening and are fully regenerated to kick off another week!

Have a happy one!

Lenka, xx

Because no one likes still life pictures...

 

This picture with the shopping window was made due to its reference to the zodiac signs. For those who know me better, you all know about my obsession with horoscopes - LOL.

Horse and I - both smiling and laughing!

4 YEARS, 9 COUNTRIES, 2 FRIENS AND MORE THAN 1000 MEMORIES

Kitty was here!!!!!! And it seems like eternity ever since she's been gone and not only 3 days! But time flies when you're having fun and time flies in ultra speed when I am with my sister-by-soul.

This time she visited me in Prague! Slowly, really slowly, she's getting to know all the places, people and cakes which I adore. Not only in Prague where I study, work and live but also in Slovakia, where she visited me last summer to check on my brother and parents. Sweet.

We spent 4 full days together which felt like 4 weeks. We got ordered pear shots in a restaurant by elderly guys, we watched Friends and laughed out loud on a whole bus on our way from the trip to Cesky Krumlov, we ate zillion of cakes, drunk liters of coffee, dance in the rain, talked, laughed, smiled. All the things one do with her best friend, right?

Kitty hates this photo but I love it so much - how she is holding tightly to me as if afraid that I am gonna disappear and leave her in Cesky Krumlov by her own :)

Breathtakingly beautiful!!!

Thanks to Radka we managed two in one - one day and two trips - Hluboka Castle.

With my girls getting ready to go out on Saturday night as well as having brunch afterwards on Sunday morning!

Aaaand getting crazy and acting silly in a zoo!

 It wouldn't be a Prague visit without a tour to the castle - this time with Starbucks as a sweet reward!

Thank you Kitty and all of my girls for coming and being with us! It means a lot to me and I hope we'll keep on doing it more and more often!!! Always welcome <3

And how about you guys out there - do you like having visitors in your city? What do you enjoy doing when you have a friend staying with you? Share and inspire me!
