City Trip, Prague – Road Highlights and First Evening
Some trips are decided on the spot, or nearly so, with a few days to prepare and dream of what you’ll see and do. This particular city getaway to Prague was the exact opposite. The planning started back in June and by the end of the month the reservations were already made. Which pretty much gave anything and everything that could change a chance to happen.
So yesterday at 11 am, I embarked on a trip that turned out to be nothing I had dreamed of or planned for. Nevertheless, as those of us who love drinking lemonade may attest, I knew getting lemons is not the worst case scenario. So I opened my heart to the possibility of having fun even if nothing would be as I wanted it to.
After long hours driving from Ploiesti to Sibiu and then to Cluj-Napoca, we met up with the rest of the group coming from Iasi and we all started our journey to Prague. It took hours of driving and lots of gas station pit stops to get there, but it was still something fun to try… once! I much prefer the comfort of my own car, even if I spend most of the journey driving..
