Weekend trip to Prague

In this article, I would like to tell you about a trip on which we went last weekend. I promised this article to you a while ago but I was really busy working on my university projects or busy procrastinating. 😂 I think it must be the rainy weather and also because it´s getting dark so soon now - it´s already dark at 5 pm here. 😥 I hate it. I get fewer things done in a day. When, where, why and with whom The trip was really short and simple (no crazy things) - **just one Saturday night in a hotel and one dinner**, but we had so much fun anyway. We went to Prague - the capital and the largest city in our country (Czech Republic). The city is nicknamed *"The City of a Hundred Spires" (or Towers)* because of its appearance. I like the city but I would not like to live there. There´s too much rush, too much noise (not in a good way like on noise.cash 🤣) many tourists and things are so expensive here! In no way I would like to live in a place like that.

You may ask ***what was the purpose of the trip*** and I will tell you. The purpose was **just to have fun** 😄 **and to relax for one day**. **I went on the trip with my boyfriend and his family** - to be exact with his parents, his grandma and his cousin who was there with his girlfriend - so there were 7 of us. This kind of trip is a tradition that runs in their family and I´m so glad that I had a chance to be part of it this year. Hotel Corinthia and our hotel room

We were staying in a hotel named ***Corinthia***. I was impressed by the hotel right from the moment I saw it - the hotel is really large, high (so many floors 😅) and luxurious-looking. Everything from the hotel entrance, the lobby with pretty lights, flowers and the large glass chandelier to the hotel rooms screams a 5★ hotel.

**I´m not used to this at all you guys!** **I´m poor and mundane**, not a celebrity haha. I´ve never been to a hotel like this one in my life because (of course) I can´t afford it. 😅 *Have you been to a hotel like this before?* The interiors of the hotel are amazing - they needed a fine designer and architect for that. I love it.

Someone could complain that the hotel rooms are too small (I read some reviews on Google maps), but it´s just right in my opinion. I have no idea what other people are used to in their life but I would not call the room small in any way. 😅 It´s bigger than our bedroom at home, omg. People complain about everything these days... Right, it is a 5-star hotel, but it´s supposed to be a hotel room not a whole apartment with 5 kilometres of space. The room was well equipped. There was a kettle, basic tableware and also a mini-fridge to keep your food in. There was a hairdryer in the bathroom, bathrobe and many towels (like nine towels - why so many? 🤣). We were mostly interested in the mini-bar though. It was full of all kinds of drinks (alcoholic but also non-alcoholic). ***What more do you need for one night, right?*** We waited for almost 2 hours There faced some problems while registering at the hotel reception. We had a reservation, but you need to be vaccinated or to have a negative covid-19 test to stay at the hotel. The problem was that my boyfriend´s parents are sometimes really stubborn and they were like *"we won´t need the tests"* and so they didn´t bring them with us. 😅 The men at the reception proved them wrong and we needed to get the expensive tests from a local pharmacy and get ourselves tested. Luckily we were **all tested negative** but it all took so long - the talking, the hotel documents, the tests - we spend almost 2 hours at the reception. More like a limousine After we finally got to our hotel rooms and settled in, we could go eat! *I was so hungry already haha.* We could go to the restaurant by bus or tram but my boyfriend´s grandma is really old and she can´t walk such long distances, so my boyfriend´s dad ordered a taxi to get us there. Don´t forget that there were 7 people, so **the taxi was more like a limousine (with 3 rows of seats)**. 🤣 So cool! And it also smelled nice inside hihi. Dinner and drinks I was so happy that we also had fries (which were delicious! 😋) with the ordered meat because I´m not really a meat-person.

The thing is that I don´t mind meat but I don´t need to have it all the time. So I left others to eat the meat and I only ate my fries with some vegetable salad. 😊 The portion was enough for me anyway.

**We had so much fun at the dinner.** Everyone was telling stories so we were laughing the whole time. It was amazing and we made nice memories that night. 💖 After we finished the food we ordered some drinks. Boys had a beer and later vodka and girls had some cocktails. I got myself a rum named Legendario because it´s the most delicious rum I´ve ever had and I also love the name. 😂 Before we left we also had a dessert. I don´t know if you are familiar with a strudel but that´s what we had. It´s basically a puff pastry filled with cooked apples. It tastes like apples and cinnamon and it´s really good. The morning after Although I slept well in the big and comfy bed, the morning was not so good. I was not sick to spend all morning at the toilet but **I was sick enough to not eat anything for breakfast**. 😆 *That was sad!* I only had 1 glass of orange juice while everyone else was having a royal breakfast - eggs, bacon, all kinds of pastry and fruit and vegetables, coffee, hot chocolate and everything you can wish for in a breakfast buffet. The reason for this situation was that after the dinner yesterday we added some Jack Daniel´s into the alcohol mix and although I had just very little of it (like 2 sips), my stomach is never good with mixing. The thing was that **the tiny bottles of Jack Daniel´s from the mini-bar are so cute!** ***Just look at it yourself:***

So small (just 5dl) and so cute... We needed to take all of them and also taste them. 😂 I think they will look so stylish on a shelf as a decoration. I don´t ever recommend you taking anything from the hotel´s mini-bar though! It´s like 5x more expensive than normal. Just bring drinks from home or from a mall - your wallet will thank you later. 😃

Hotel selfies As you probably noticed, while being at the hotel I took a lot of pictures, including selfies. I´m not a selfie person. In fact, I hate to be photographed, but the natural lighting in the room and the mirrors were really nice so I snapped a few shots of myself as well. I´m really proud of the pictures. I don´t know why exactly but I like myself on them - and that´s a rare thing to happen. It makes me more confident now. 😅 *And I need that!* I´m just incredibly glad about this trip. I will keep the memory of it in my mind forever. 🥰 Thank you so much for reading! ***How many times have YOU been to a hotel? Where did YOU go on your most recent trip?*** *Take care.* 💗
