Ahh things are pretty cruisey right now...and i do mean that quite literally. I'm currently cruising on a boat down the Vltava River in Prague, drinking beer i didn't even realise was Czech beer!
It was a bank holiday on Monday 7th, so i decided to take full advantage of it and booked the rest of the week off work. so now i've got 6 days and 5 nights in Prague, which is probably a little bit too long, but i'm determined to take things slow - i want this to be a relaxing holiday, hence why i'm on a 3hr boat cruise right now...
the cruise comes complete with a buffet dinner and live jazz. currently, i'm drinking a pint of Staropramen, which when mixed with the spearmint gum i'm chewing tastes strangely vanilla-like.. hmmm.
Wow, the jazz band just kicked off with a pretty unique rendition of U2's 'One'! Nice!
The sun is slowly setting and its orange light is reflected in the windows of town houses sailing by, creating the effect of glowing embers burning within.
They've dimmed the lights now, and lit candles..perfect! This is what i signed on for! if only i had someone to share it with. Although, having said that, I shouldn't complain. Traveling alone does have its benefits. Yes, it can be lonely at times, but in some ways that's a good thing. it helps me focus and appreciate what's really important in life. It makes me contemplate and reflect on why things are the way they are. It's my reality check, it's my discovery time, it helps me grow and makes me humble. yikes, i just re-read that - maybe i've had a few too many beers!
Man, this jazz is good. Smart, sexy and sophisticated. 'Son of a Preacher Man', 'Let it be', 'Blue Suede Shoes' and so many more tunes i recognise but don't know the names of.
note to self - download lots of jazz when you get home.
ok so it's a bad photo, but just wanted to illustrate what i meant by the sun's light reflecting off the windows to create an orangy glow...
