Sprawy rodzinne

I'm very sorry for the delay - it was extremely busy week. As you probably know (at least some of you), my parents came to visit me. They drove here from Lublin in Poland and got here after 11 p.m. on Friday. I had been cleaning the whole week for their visit (my mum is a little bit crazy about that) so I was already tired. And what came next, was very exhausting. After they left, we understood the meaning of the word knackered :) So....on Saturday we went to Nove Mesto (Vaclavske Nam. and surroundings), Stare Mesto (Staromestske Nam., Obecni Dum, Celetna) and then to Karluv Most and Mala Strana. We had a nice lunch in extremely cheap place (for the area) and head back home to walk the dog. And when we reached our place, it started raining! We had been checking the weather forecasts and it was supposed to rain for the whole weekend! But after a short springy rain, the sun came out and we went for a walk by the river. For the dinner we went to Pivovarni Dum, which is a mini brewery right next to our place. We ordered samples of all their beers: light, dark, weed, coffee, sour cherry, blueberry, and nettle. It was great fun! If you'll have opportunity, go there! The beer is gorgeous, food is tasty, prices are ok.

On Sunday we went to Petrin and Hradcany. When I woke up, I thought we'll have to stay home because of the weather - it was all grey and rainy. Luckily, after two hours it got sunny and really nice. I met with Janas, which was very nice. I miss all my friends from Poland... But...so after Hradcany we came back home, ate some lunch and headed to the center. We hoped to sit in some nice restaurant, drink some beer (especially my dad) and maybe eat something later. You won't believe: everything was full!!! With Polish tourists mainly! It made me frustrated and we got into a little fight with my Prince, but it wasn't anything serious. So after a nice walk from Nove Mesto to stare Mesto and almost Josefov, we went back home and had a nice dinner at home: home made pierogi from my mum (it's kind of like ravioli but bigger...or smaller..I can't remember, and with white cheese, potatoes and onion inside) and fried cheese. It was delicious!

Monday was chilling out a little bit on Vysehrad. We had to do some shopping also (mainly alcohol - they love Beherovka which you can't get in Poland). And we went for lunch to the Budvar place (U Medviku for those who are not custom to our names like "the Soup place", "the Dirty place"). At least there were places for us. So we had lunch, went home, walked the dog, they started packing and after some time we went to our local for dinner.
Tuesday morning they left. And that's when I was so knackered. Actually Rob and I. But it was fun weekend. It was great to see them and to show all our places here, in Praha.

So that's why I didn't have time to post. On Tuesday I needed to rest, Wednesday I went shopping with Andrea (I bought some spring / summer clothes and spend more than half of the money from taxes) and yesterday we went for a dinner with Courtney and Ade. I learned what does it mean ditzy :)

And some pictures from the last weekend:
