Hello my darling tutu-loving darlings! Emma here, your favourite pink-clad ballet butterfly, fresh from a whirlwind trip to the enchanting city of Prague. As you know, my Wednesdays are dedicated to my beloved Prague blog, and I can't wait to share the magic with you. Today, we're whisking back to March 1st, 2006, for a day bursting with ballet, romance, and of course, a dash of pink!
Before I dive into the glittering details, let's paint the scene, shall we? Prague, oh Prague, the city of a thousand spires! Cobblestone streets, charming bridges, and those beautiful, impossibly colourful buildings. It's practically designed for tutus, wouldn't you agree? I found myself, naturally, swathed in my most delicate tulle creation – a soft, pastel pink confection with layers upon layers of ethereal loveliness. And let me tell you, it made quite the splash!
My day started in the most elegant way possible - with a visit to the stunning National Theatre. It's a sight to behold! Think grand arches, plush velvet seating, and ornate gold embellishments, a perfect backdrop for a world-class ballet performance. Now, the performance itself? Oh darling, it was sheer bliss! The dancers, graceful and fluid, pirouetted across the stage, a whirlwind of colour and emotion. The costumes were to die for, especially a shimmering, sapphire gown worn by the lead ballerina. It was like something out of a dream. I must confess, I almost sprouted my own wings and joined in!
But wait, the day wasn't over yet! After the theatre, I indulged in a little retail therapy in the quaint boutiques near the Old Town Square. Let me tell you, darling, Prague has some incredible vintage fashion! I snagged the most delightful cherry-red hat adorned with velvet ribbons and an old-fashioned pin. It's positively screaming for a photoshoot, don't you think?
Later that evening, my tummy rumbling for a delightful Prague delicacy, I made my way to the charming courtyard of the Café Savoy. This is the perfect place for an authentic Czech meal, think warm, homemade goulash with crusty bread, a plate of sweet Trdelník, and the tastiest plum wine. As I sat there, watching the locals stroll by, I realised something - this city is steeped in romance. The old architecture, the quaint alleyways, the soft lighting...it all comes together to create a magical ambiance that makes you feel like you're in a fairytale.
Before heading back to my cozy hotel room for a night of blissful sleep, I couldn't resist taking a moonlit stroll across the Charles Bridge. The soft, twinkling lights reflected off the Vltava River, making it seem almost magical. It was the perfect end to a perfect day in Prague.
I hope this little snippet of my Prague adventure has inspired you to add it to your travel list. Trust me, it's the perfect place for a tutu-clad adventure. Remember, darling, always embrace your inner ballerina, and always wear pink!
Until next time,
Emma xo
