Walking around the Old Town Prague

...deserves a post all by herself↔💘

I love Prague. Old town Prague?
Maybe a little obsessed by it.

I remember old town Prague; the beautiful orange hue as Jessy and Mum's backdrop. Melancholy violin playing as background music. People clapping, cheering, some kissed. The old in pairs, some alone, clucking through the cobblestones with their walking sticks. The young laughing their way through the bridge - some with a pint in their hands. Kids running escaping from their mums. We even saw a fully dressed full fledged wedding couple. Getting ready to snap at sunset. In the midst of throngs of people.

Why wouldn't everyone love this bridge? 
It's so beautiful. It's so alive. 



And there are layers, and layers of this remarkable town. One entry from the other, another area is vibrant with more things.

It really just keeps getting better by each step.



This was the walk in the morning, we walked into the Old Town Square without knowing. There were horse carriages, ice creams, cold beers and just so many people.

We had ice cream, kebabs, fries and beers by the side of the road (wow we really don't stop eating). Doing the most European activity; watching people. It is fascinating though, the people on the streets are all kinds.


More sunset photos because. LOOOOK.
It's so gorgeous.



On our last night in Prague, we decided to treat ourselves to a grand dinner. And by grand, I mean by a whole chunk of meat and potatoes.

It was so dramatic. Our restaurant was operated by a hotel restaurant right next to where we were seating. We were seating outside "looking at people", again the European thing.

Jess and mum wanted to go to the loo, that by the time they came back they look confused and a little disoriented. 10 minutes later, an ambulance came and squeeze its way through the tiny streets of old town to the hotel restaurant where we were and we were like, whats going on?

... and then Jessy said. I suspected someone tried to kill himself. 

WTF?

Turns out when they went to the loo, they saw a young boy sitting on the floor looking distraught and being consoled by his mother? Not sure where they got this assumption, but it seemed quite unfortunate nevertheless.

So we got sidetracked for 10 minutes.

And then we continued stuffing ourselves.

No let's do a close up.


YASSSS.


Loved the old town Prague. I can still vividly remember how lively the streets were, and how beautiful it was brought merry by all kinds of people from all walks of life. That's how a street should come alive.

We went home around 12am, not realizing that it was really late. Sunset was at 9pm, so we really lost track of time.

Love,
Jacqueline Rowena @ Jacqkie.

Pulau Sapi @ Tunku Abdul Rahman Parks

Before I proceed to my write up on Pulau Sapi, let me do the duty to carefully explain to you why there are so many people talking about so many islands at the mention of the word, Sabah. Reason why I'm doing so is because whenever people visit KK City, they have very limited time in exploring most of the natural gorgeous attractions, and sometimes ended up just moving around KK City. And when one does that, people would usually end up asking, why are there so many mentions of islands when we get to experience none?  As you can see from the previous Matthew Paul map below; Sabah is situated close to top north of the Borneo Island. That said, it's a privilege to say that tons of islands are under the local towns and cities surrounding the shores of this particular part of Borneo island. From Sipitang (look out from South left), imagine yourself  "walking" from the Sipitang's shore / beach walk up slowly to Menumbuk, Kuala Penyu, Pulau Tiga, Kota Kinabalu, Tun...

Pulau Mantanani // Mantanani Island

I started off my 10 day break with a day trip to Mantanani. I wanted to visit Mantanani for THE LONGEST TIME, but couldn’t get around doing so all these while, either I haven’t saved up enough or basically, just haven’t got the weekends to spare it with.   Some folks call it the mermaid island because of the dugong sightings underwater – which is seriously magical. Some folks even say you could catch a glimpse of dolphins. They’ve had photos with it, but I personally have never seen them before.  Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to share with you why this trip was important.    If you see the map above, I’ve yellow squared Mantanani Island in comparison to the journey from Kota Kinabalu. If you’re not a map kind of person, that is --- quite far. Not Sipadan (Tawau, Sandakan, Lahad Datu kind of far) but far enough to be a put off to some locals at times. Previously, you’d have to drive up north for approximately 1.5 hours, or take a bus...

One Night at Manukan Island at Sutera Sanctuary Lodge

We were supposed to go somewhere for Jessy's birthday, I wasn't quite sure how we decided on the island, but that was a pretty sweet decision. By day, the island was brimming with tourists and families, but by evening as the sun sets colouring the sky, it becomes a quiet isolation and absolutely stunning to enjoy an evening walk by. If you ever had the chance to stay overnight in a small island, please try it. We stayed at Sutera Sanctuary Lodges, cost us about RM 500nett for three of us. We woke up slightly earlier around 9am to enjoy the beach and swim when no one was there yet. Well Jessy did the swimming. I had a wedding to keep my tan lines even the week after so I kinda hid from the sun 😌 The unit though, almost chalet like was quite huge! The bathroom itself felt like an entire unit, with unique tiles that go right up to the top. Very luxurious. And. it. has. windows. looking. out. the. room! Each unit has its own balcony, which makes a perfect place ...
