Prague 2017 - Valentine's Getaway

Hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day on the 14th Feb! This year, my boyfriend and I decided to celebrate this special occasion in the lovely Prague! <3 We set off on the actual day and stayed there for 4 days, 3 nights. Prague is a place that I've wanted to visit for ages, and we finally managed to book it as our first holiday of the year :D

We visited many iconic places such as the Charles Bridge, Old Town Square, Astronomical Clock Tower, Prague Castle, St Vitus Cathedral, Mala Strana, Petrin Hill and the Petrin Tower. We were very lucky that the weather was sunny and not too cold for the whole duration. The Hotel we stayed in, called 'Grandior Hotel' was not too far from the old town square (main tourist site) - about 10-15 mins walk.

Grandior Hotel:

Old Town Square - it looked so authentic and historic!

Happy Valentine's Day 2016

Valentine's Day this year was very special as I could spend it with a very special someone <3 haha

Thank you to my lovely boyfriend who prepared everything and surprised me! Here are some snaps...

Our Pre-Valentine's Day meal at Amerigo Vespucci in Canary Wharf, London. The food and atmosphere was really nice there. I ordered veal which was so yummy!

We took a small cruise to get across the river to our hotel.

He surprised me by booking a night at Hilton Hotel :O The room was very nice with warm lighting and a white-gold coloured theme to it.

The next day on actual Valentine's Day, we went out to London and had more food haha!

We went to Shibuya in Leicester Square, London, a place we've been meaning to try for a long time! We had matcha tea, dumplings, octopus fish balls, and the specialty dessert here that we came for - Pat Bing Su!

This is the Pat Bing Su dessert - it is basically shaved ice that's so light and soft it's like eating fluffy ice cream <3 It is a very common dessert in South Korea and is probably growing in Asia. We ordered matcha and mango pat bing su. We really enjoyed it!
