Bonjour mes amies! Emma here, your resident pink tutu aficionado, writing to you from the cobblestone streets of Prague!
The crisp Czech air is swirling around me like a ballerina's skirt as I sit in my favourite cafe, nestled amongst the city's iconic spires. My notepad is overflowing with impressions – the colourful, whimsical architecture, the delicate aroma of roasted coffee beans, and of course, the captivating whispers of history that echo through these charming streets.
This week marks my arrival in Prague, and what a whimsical beginning it's been! The train journey from Derbyshire, my charming home, was as magical as always. Picture this: me, adorned in a blush-pink tutu, surrounded by the quaint English countryside scenery. A gentleman in a tweed cap and a kind-eyed lady in a floral hat smiled at my exuberant attire – perhaps I inspired them to dream a little bolder, to twirl a little brighter.
Speaking of twirling, Prague seems to be a city that simply encourages it! The graceful curves of the Charles Bridge, the whimsical squares like Old Town Square, they're like grand stages just waiting to be pirouetted upon. Every corner seems to hold a hidden story, a whispered secret just waiting to be revealed. And it's this enchanting quality that draws me, like a moth to a flame, towards this city's cultural treasure – its world-renowned ballet scene!
Tonight, I have the absolute delight of attending a performance at the exquisite National Theatre. They're staging "Swan Lake" – oh the drama, the romanticism, the pure beauty of it all! I can practically smell the powder, feel the thrum of anticipation in the air, and I can't wait to share the experience with you in my next post.
Before we delve deeper into the ballet scene, let's talk fashion. Prague's charm is, of course, reflected in its fashion. Bohemian chic, a dash of Victorian charm, a whisper of 1920s elegance, it's a melting pot of styles waiting to be explored. Imagine my delight as I wander through the streets, soaking up the atmosphere and finding my own personal treasures! The boutiques tucked away on the cobblestone lanes have called to my inner stylist. My luggage, overflowing with pink tutus and shimmering fabrics, may have gotten a little heavier this week, but who could resist? It's the allure of Prague, my darlings!
While I’m here, I simply have to visit the Prague National Museum to delve deeper into the history of this charming city. But I have another exciting destination in mind: the beautiful Municipal House, with its stunning Art Nouveau design. Imagine, a tour through its glorious halls and maybe even a little impromptu twirl in the elegant ballroom. The very thought makes me blush!
And who knows what enchanting sights and adventures this week will hold! Will I find the perfect pastel pink polka dot dress? Will I learn a new waltz from a local ballroom dancing expert? Will I inspire a fellow traveler to embrace their inner tutu? Stay tuned, my sweet loves, as we embark on this pink and delightful journey together.
Remember, "There is a touch of magic in the very air we breathe." I find that quote truly embodies Prague, a city full of magic, just waiting for you to discover it.
Until next week, keep twirling,
Emma www.pink-tutu.com
