  • All alone in Prague at Christmas was a decision I made due to not wanting to spend Christmas home alone. Prague in the Czech Republic is a beautiful place to visit and I hope I capture the Christmas spirit as I walk around Prague Old Town.

    Prague looks beautiful, if I've learnt something in my 63 years is if you can't say anything nice , then say nothing, never judge a book by it's cover and always try to be kind I've always taught my kids because you never know when you may need a helping hand, and most importantly it's good to talk but even better to listen and asking for help costs nothing neither does giving it .Have a wonderful time when you're with the family and Happy New Year to everyone who follows you.

    What a lovely little pressie from the kids, Prague is stunning, only been once ….. it was the other half’s 40th birthday 🎂 present 🎁 and that was 20 years ago. It still looks amazing, we want to get back there so will make an effort soon. The Wenceslas Square old buildings and little clock puppets are brilliant to see, and the castle etc on the other side of Charles Bridge just stunning 🤩 So much to see Darren…….I hope you had a great time and merry Christmas and a very happy New Year to you 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

    About the chimney cakes: they originated in Hungary and from there became popular in Slovakia (town of Skalica), because long time ago Slovaks lived under Hungarian rule (at that time Czechia was part of Holy Roman Empire). After WWI Slovaks and Czechs united (Czechoslovakia) so the Trdelnik became Czech as well. And after 1993 Czechs and Slovaks separated, so now it’s just Cechia with their old Trdelnik in Prague.😃 BTW I love how you express your feelings and observations, this video put a smile on my face. Prague is absolutely breathtaking, one can see several architectural styles sometimes even on one square or street. Very well preserved and the atmosphere is so welcoming and relaxed. There’s always tons things to do on any day. Love Prague❤️👍

    I loved this vlog. My. Husband worked in cz about 17 years ago and quite regularly we were able to go over to Prague for many weekends. He worked about a 2 hour drive from Prague so we were able to visit a lot. It is a wonderful city. With so much to do and so many things to see. It was a city of music. In the summer it was great to see the swing jazz street bands setting up around the old town centre, soft rock bands, the community festivals and fetes, and the beautiful classical musicians in little pockets of the town centre buildings. Ballet, opera and classical music events all within walking distance of each other in the town centre. It is a very cultured city and not too far from Vienna either. It was very hot during many of the summers we were there, but the winter in the snow was magical. And not as cold as you would imagine. Here in Scotland when the snow and the cold is here it can be zero degrees and it’s like the arctic and difficult to keep warm - in cz you can wrap up well at minus 10 degrees and you will be warm, despite there being inches of snow. We visited the Charles bridge when there was 6” of snow and it was tolerable. Your vlog took me along many places we visited a lot so thank you for posting that, it was lovely to have a little walk down memory lane 😊
