Going Back to Prague

Last year, visited an exciting city called Prague in the Czech Republic. Because I had read so much about it and heard somebody I used to work with say how much they loved how it was affordable. I decided to go and have a look for myself. I loved the old castles and the old town vibe. It made me feel like I was visiting a part of history and loved how it's been restored. I visited Tallinn this year, and some of the vibes there were quite similar to Prague, too. I knew I was going to end up coming back to Prague. I fancied getting a train to another country, but I think there's still a lot of Prague that I haven't visited yet and would like to explore it some more and also go back to the places I missed out on the first time around.

I am stying at the same hostel as before. It's just for women. I liked it because they had a lot of activities in the evening and also like how they make breakfast in the morning. There's also staples that are on the house. I liked being able to cook there because the facilities at the hostel were really good. And for someone who has been a victim of sexual abuse, I found it really comforting to have a safe place just for women.

Though in general, Prague was a safe city for me. I never encountered any problems with drunk tourists and I never heard anything even when there's several bars around the area. I am lucky as where I am staying is a short walk from the famous clock tower. I did some extensive walks when I was last there. One of the tasks on pokemon go that I have to do is explore 300km, and I know there's a 2 hour route that covers most of the tourist hot spots, so that will keep me going.

WOH is one of the best places I ever stayed in. It has so much character. There's cheaper hostels, but I think this place felt like a second home to me. I made earings there, watched thriller films and cooked pasta and wrote several poems there. So many great vibes. Last year I was going through a really bad phase, but the trip helped me heal.

I want to go back to the Chloe Cafe. It has a lot of things that really appeal to me like the acai bowl, the matcha drinks and the pink decor. It's a really beautiful place. I can see why so many people on Instagram and Tiktok love it so much. They put so much attention to detail in the place. I cant wait to go back. I was talking to my brother about it and he said it sounded like a place that was made for me or made by me. Maybe if I'm a bit more confident, I should say that my name is Chloe.

There was a place near Maddame Tussands that did Thai massages. I've never had one before and would be interested in trying it to see how different it is from other massages. I also considered getting a hair cut there but not sure. Maybe for the hair cut I might wait till I get home.

I wonder if it's also worth hopping on a train to another country. Would be nice to be able to get the train to Poland or Austria. During one of my walks I did find a Filipino restuaurant that I think my best friend Maddy would have loved. I didn't get to go last time, If I can find it, I might go.

I know I will be doing a lot of walking and playing Pokemon Go, but we will see what happens.
