Hello my darlings! 💋 It's Emma here, your very own pink tutu-clad guide to the world of ballet and fabulousness. And guess what? This week's adventure takes us to the enchanting city of Prague! This is post #1047 for my Prague blog, a weekly rendezvous every Wednesday over on www.pink-tutu.com.
So, imagine a picture: Cobblestone streets, charming cafes spilling onto pavements, a magical backdrop of spires reaching towards a cloudless sky... Prague has a charm like no other. But for me, the real magic was just about to unfold.
The Ballet Bliss:
After a scenic journey by train - because who can resist a vintage carriage, right? - I arrived in Prague on a Wednesday. What better day for ballet, wouldn't you agree? My calendar was filled with a beautiful ballet production at the breathtaking National Theatre. Tonight was the night!
The theatre itself, a grand neo-Renaissance masterpiece, had me in awe even before the curtain went up. I'm all for grand old buildings and architectural splendour, but what really stole my breath was the stage. Imagine my excitement as the opening notes of Swan Lake filled the air and the dancers floated onto the stage in graceful, lyrical movements. Pure ballet magic! 🦢
The costumes were simply stunning. White tutus for the Swan Lake dancers, flowing and delicate. I swear I felt myself being transported back to the romantic era of ballet, the history of the tutus dancing through my head like the elegant pirouettes on stage. I was reminded of my love for ballet history. There is something special about tutus, the way they twirl, their symbolism... a love that truly transcends time.
And I must confess, after watching those talented dancers glide effortlessly across the stage, I almost longed to join them! The sheer joy of movement, the disciplined strength... I realised I was missing my regular ballet class back in Derbyshire.
Pink Princess of Prague:
After the ballet, Prague's cobblestone streets beckoned, promising shopping escapades! It was time to add to my pink tutu collection - because what's a trip to Prague without indulging in a bit of retail therapy, right?
Prague is a shopping paradise! Boutique shops overflowing with beautiful clothing, traditional shops bursting with local crafts, and vintage shops filled with timeless treasures. There are some amazing high street stores with pink items, and of course, I wouldn’t dream of leaving a shop without picking up some pink accessories!
Street Scenes & Parisian Delights:
As evening descended, the city took on a whole new atmosphere. The streets were filled with street performers – musicians serenading passers-by, acrobats twisting into daring formations, even a group of dancers performing a delightful street ballet right in the heart of Old Town Square! Talk about finding the beauty in unexpected places!
And when the hunger pangs struck, I found myself sitting at a quaint bistro overlooking the iconic Charles Bridge. This bistro served the most scrumptious crêpes! Parisian-style crêpes! How could I resist? Of course, mine was topped with delicious strawberries - a pink feast for the senses. I even managed to snag some gorgeous photos for my social media. My feed needs a bit of pink-tinted magic! 🍓📸
A Ride with the Horses:
After an afternoon filled with shopping and savouring local delicacies, I felt the urge for a little adventure. I stumbled upon a group of friendly locals offering horseback rides through the city parks. It felt surreal! Me, riding a majestic horse, surrounded by the majestic spires and churches of Prague - quite a sight indeed. The wind through my hair, the gentle rhythmic movement of the horse…it was pure bliss! And yes, I made sure I looked extra fabulous in my trusty pink riding hat, naturally! 🐎
Pinks & Promise:
My time in Prague was a beautiful blend of ballet, culture, and fashion - a delightful dose of Parisian charm with a touch of fairytale magic! The city captivated me with its historical grandeur and vibrant street life. I left my pink mark on Prague, but the city left an indelible impression on me.
The city left me pondering: Is Prague a ballerina’s dream or a dream ballerina? Whatever the answer, I am ready to share my pink magic, my ballet stories, my love for tutus, and my passion for everything beautiful with you.
Now, off to my next adventure! Join me again next Wednesday for another episode of The Pink Tutu Travel Blog. Remember, the world is a giant pink tutu waiting for you to twirl around in it! 🌎🩰💋
Until then, wear your pink tutus with pride and make every day an enchanting ballet!
Love, Emma 💕
