This trip is compareable with a crazy rollercoaster ride 🙈

Since we did our last class trip to Prague, I for some reason wanted to spend New Years Eve there one year. This year I finally managed it to go and it was different than expected.
I spontanuesly booked the train tickets and was super excited to go.

When I changed from train to bus in Nuernberg, the bus driver gave me a look when I arrived it the little suitcase and my Snowboard. 'No snowboards on the bus' and I was like 'what?' 😮😣
Somehow I managed it to convince him and luckily made it to Prague in time...
After my arrival I first got a bit lost. Well, I mean it was super easy to get around and find my way to the hostel since the street sings were super obvious and the street names really easy to pronounce. I also was a huge fan of the sound my suitcase made when I carried it over the cobbles. 😄

However, I made to the hostel and after unpacking I checked out the city. Honestly I missed to be somewhere new (even if I already been to Prague). It was cool to remember places and discover new ones. Since it was already evening the houses and churches of the old city looked amazing with all the fancy lights. On top of that the Christmas Market as still going on and I was able to try hot cider and ......... .
Wandering around the city and walking along the Elbe with the reflections of the lights in it was really remarkable.

Of course I stopped at a pub and had some Czech beer while I was listening to Mexican live music.

Day 2 started calm. Breakfast was alright and I noticed that ham, cheese and a kind of cake are the essentials of a Czech breakfast.
After that we decided to wander around the city again and ended up on the little tower on the hill. The view was fantastic and our timing was awesome. We had an incredible sunset and I was so happy :)

Back down we went back into town. Got some food at a little restaurant and I think I had the best dumplings ever there.

Two beers later we stopped at a little grocery store and got some stuff for the evening. Out plan was to see the fireworks from ...... where you can also find a monument. We weren't the only ones with that idea and after a few hours more and more people arrived.
The atmosphere was sweet and it felt incredible when everybody was counting down the last 10 seconds. At 12 o'clock the sky over the city was filled with all kinds of different colours. The fireworks lasted around 30 minutes and we're spectacular to watch. Although it was really nice to see I expected a bit more. I mean I thought Czech's are known for crazy fireworks.

Well, we didn't stay up really long since we wanted to get up early to be able to drive to Rokytnice nad Jizerou.
