Hello darlings! It's Wednesday again, and that means it's time for another dose of pink tulle and travel tales from your favourite tutu-clad blogger! This week I'm writing to you from the magical city of Prague! It's every bit as charming and enchanting as I imagined, and it's made even more fabulous by the fact that I'm here to see a ballet, of course!
Let's rewind a bit to my journey here. It was such a perfect beginning to this Prague adventure. From Derbyshire, England, I hopped on a train, feeling like a little ballerina princess en route to a royal ball. (Think long, swirling skirts and a giant pink bow!) The train journey, though a tad long, was filled with fascinating landscapes. It was a little slice of heaven! And when I arrived at the station, guess what I spotted? You're never too old to get excited about these, right? A polka-dot pony pulling a carriage, oh my! The colour coordination - imagine my joy!
Of course, I couldn't let a charming, polka-dotted pony go without a selfie, now could I? That picture is already making waves on my Instagram - and if you're not already following me @pinktutublogger, where are you?! Let's be real, a little tutued fun is all we need in life.
Prague's Past and Future, A Tutu Tale!
My little feet, or should I say, my elegant, pink tutu-adorned little feet, couldn't wait to explore this historic city. My heart just soared when I first caught sight of the Astronomical Clock and Prague Castle. Those golden towers, those cobblestone streets, every corner whispers with history!
And what's history without a dash of glamour, right? So naturally, my first order of business was shopping. You see, finding the perfect tutu for an evening at the ballet is no small feat! I discovered a hidden gem, a quaint shop filled with vintage lace and vintage fashion, just calling out to my inner ballerina. I emerged with the most breathtaking, baby pink tutu. Just picture it – a light and airy confection of tulle that practically shimmered in the sunlight.
Oh, The Magic of Prague Ballet
Now, I won't keep you in suspense, I was off to see the Pink Tutu Prague ballet - a modern ballet piece inspired by the whimsical life of a ballerina! (There’s a certain charm when a show shares your passion.) It was a beautiful blend of classic and contemporary moves. The music was so poignant, and the choreography was incredibly emotive, it touched me on a very personal level. It made me ponder, isn't the life of a ballerina just as grand a story as the stories the world has witnessed in Prague for centuries? It made me think, and this, my friends, is what makes art truly captivating!
As the curtains closed, the applause echoed through the theatre, a joyous wave of emotion. It's nights like this that remind us all why we love ballet so much, and why I’m on a mission to spread the joy of ballet - and tutus - wherever I go!
Where I Dined, Where I Wandered
The next day, my quest continued to discover more Prague's hidden charms! I walked through enchanting alleys, past the magnificent Charles Bridge, where couples locked their love and laughter in the air. Prague, oh Prague, you truly have my heart!
And for dinner? Why, only the best, darling! I stumbled upon a little restaurant tucked away in a charming square. Let me tell you, the gnocchi, the goulash, it was all delectable, but my favorite was the rosewater sorbet, such a sweet, pretty palate cleanser! It reminded me of dancing barefoot in a flower field under a pale pink moon. (Don’t you agree it’s all about finding inspiration wherever you go, darling?)
I know what you’re thinking. Why the pink sorbet, right? Everything about me needs a hint of pink – why do you think it’s called PinkTutuPrague?
Keeping the Dream Alive!
Prague, you've been a dream, my darling. It’s a city full of enchantment, from the medieval stories its cobblestones tell to the artistic tales woven on the stage. I'll be leaving Prague with a renewed sense of hope and inspiration. And it goes without saying - a bag packed with goodies!
Do you know what they say, dear? Life is a ballet! Every step, every performance counts! I know, right, so much inspiration in one trip. I want you to grab your tulle, darlings. Let's twirl through life, embrace the magic, and leave our own trail of pink-tutu-sprinkled joy everywhere we go!
P.S. Did I mention, Prague’s pink pastel-coloured buildings? And the rose gardens, oh the rose gardens! That was my inspiration this week – what are you waiting for?! Get out your tutu and twirl your way through your own Parisian fairytale. It’s never too late to feel like a princess, right?
Catch you next Wednesday, darlings.
