After leaving Italy, I headed up to the Czech Republic and stayed in the beautiful city of Prague. Without a doubt, Prague is my favourite city so far. A city so completely filled with such amazing mixtures of baroque and gothic architecture, history, food, music, culture and life could not disappoint, and disappoint it did not. While the weather wasn't great, I can't think of any city I'd rather be rugged up in, sipping tea at the window sills of cafes, munching on trdelnik, and walking the cobblestone streets. It really has such a beautiful vibrancy to it that makes it stand apart from other cities.
After Prague, it was off to Hungary where I spent five nights in Budapest. It's an impressive European city with unique and impressive architecture aplenty, not to mention a great bar and restaurant culture, and the many Turkish baths to relax in. A highlight was stumbling across a hidden jem of a vintage clothing shop called Ludovika Vintage. Recently opened, it was bursting with ridiculously cute genuine vintage clothes, accessories and knick knacks. If you live in or are travelling to Budapest, definitely hunt it down!
From Budapest, I said goodbye to my dear friend Jess who I travelled with for the past month, and headed down to Croatia to meet up with my cousin and a couple of friends. I'm currently still in Croatia, and absolutely loving every second of this amazing country, so hang out for a post on Croatia soon.
Here are a few of my favourite photos of Prague and Budapest, taken on my iPhone.
Hi Madeleine! I really wanted to dedicate a #WHPnotquitea post to you on Instagram but I didn't have time to visit anywhere pretty this weekend, though I had a few places in mind where I could snap a few pics in my country. Yours is honestly my favourite Instagram account ever. Your travel pictures and lifestyle are really inspirational, as cheesy as it sounds. I do hope to be able to travel one day and take beautiful pictures like yours.
ReplyDeleteI did post something a while back that was inspired by your inclusion of flowers and herbs in your at-home pictures, though, because I really love carnations. http://instagram.com/p/bLb4aixXes/
Sorry for the long comment, I just wanted to let you know how cool I think your pictures are, and that I'm really glad I discovered your account, because it's almost exactly how I envision my travels to be, one day.
Hello sweet one! I'm not quite sure what a WHPnotquitea is, but thank you regardless because it was lovely of you to think of me. Where abouts are you from? What's your Instagram?
DeleteThank you so much for your kind words, it really means a lot to me that my photos have made such an impression in you, truly I'm really touched. One day I'm sure you'll travel the world and have so many adventures. Thank you again, stay lovely xxx
Hey (: I'm actually from Singapore! My Instagram's @fishballschia. I don't post anything particularly exciting or impressive, though.
DeleteYou're welcome, I really do enjoy your pictures. Enjoy your travels and stay lovely too (:
Oh wonderful! I was actually in Singapore earlier this year, in April, because my cousins have been living there since beginning of last year (although they move back to Australia soon). Ah thank you again dear, you're too sweet :) x
