SKYNI

Tonight, i will have the house to myself. Nicke is camping with the kids in our garden. (No, i did not throw them out)

The first camping experience for the kids…I am sure they will sneak into the house in the middle of the night.

Ok…I admit defeat. It is really ‘a pain in the neck’ to paint the ceiling.

After numerous hours and several coats of paint, the ceiling is still ‘blotchy’. What a mess…there is paint everywhere! And my poor neck!

This is just the ceiling in our smallest room in the house…our first ceiling. We haven’t even started painting the walls.

Sigh. I think we will just bite the bullet and call in the professionals.

I cannot believe I took more than 200 pictures for just one trip.

Top 3 Highlights of the trip

1. The dinner at La Degustation (www.ladegustation.cz/en/ …think molecular gastronomy). It was out of this world.

2. Listening to an open air concert in Prague Castle

3. Reading in the Library

But throughout the trip, I keep playing the Mission Impossible Theme song in my head.

I used to think Paris is the most beautiful city in the world but now I know there is another city that is even more beautiful. Maybe some of you will disagree but Prague is just simply breathtaking. I love the architecture and what the city has to offer. The architecture, tourist attractions, the food and Thai massages at Singapore prices. 🙂
However, shopping is not so good. The weather was on our side…we have 5 days of sunshine and warm weather….and Chin Chien, you were right, the cobblestones were amazing. Almost the entire city is beautifully laid out on cobblestones!

We had a great time and it was really nice that Nicke and I can spend five days just reading, eating, sightseeing, admiring Prague without worrying about the kids. The kids were with my mother in law and she is super capable of handling them. In fact, her obedience camp is just the right antidote for bratty Linn. She has to abide to Grandma’s rules there. We called her one day and she said to me softly ‘Mummy, come back now and get me!!’. We were not allowed to speak to her after that..apparently, she cried for 2 hours after the phone call.

It was a wonderful trip but it was really nice to be with the kids again!
