Our journey started with a slightly teary goodbye, especially from baby to papa, as hubby won´t be travelling along with us this time around. Amelia was really reluctant to leave him behind, stating her fears that he too would run away by the time we come back from our Prague holiday. Did take us some time to convince her that Papa ain´t going anywhere and that he will be waiting for us at the station on Sunday to pick us up!
We had a very early journey.... our train ride from Berlin main station to Prague main station starts at 645am. Hence, we all had to leave the house by 530am *yawns* to go to the main station. Hubby accompanied us there..... with a 4 hour 40 mins ride train, I managed to get more winks on the train, while....... my daughter, overly excited about her train ride didn´t really sleep at all!We reached Prague just on time! 1130am and the most interesting part was there wasn´t any immigration checks like the airports, so no funky nice stamp to put into me and Amelia´s passport from travelling around! :( But nevertheless, it was a good trip. We met with Win Nee at the train station and then made our way to the hotel, which seriously was just a 5 mins walk away from the IP Palvola metro station! *Cools*
We didn´t do much on our first night there, well firstly because I caught the bug and came down with high fever that night. Though we managed to go for some small sights to the Museum, Starbucks, Old Square, the opposite side of Charles Bridge, the Emperor´s summer palace and etc, I kinda knocked out early together with Amelia (who was also recovering from slight fever after her operation) in the hotel while WinNee toured the place on her own *shucks* Guess it´s even more a reason to go back to Prague with hubby in the near future ^^
Maybe cos Prague is a place filled with too many historical sights and barely any sights for kids to have fun with... don´t know.... Even Amelia was finding it somewhat boring in certain aspects, especially when we stay at one place for too long. We visited the old Palace - we have the choice of choosing 8 different sights to see in the palace or 4. We took the 4 one as we were worried it would take too long in there as according to the ticket guy, the 8 sights normally took about 2 days, which we don´t have the time for. But nevertheless, even 4 sights was long enough! By the time we are done with it, it was almost 5pm. We had to make our way down all the way from the hilltop, rest awhile at the riverside before making our way to Charles bridge for the beautiful sunset view on the bridge! The view is remarkable I tell you!
There are alot of photos for me to upload, which I still haven´t been able to upload in my Multiply website, except on Facebook. My multiply webpage is still not up-to-date with the newest photos. But then again, I am hopeful. I have already uploaded right up till 2011, and there is only the day trips made in 2011 and the holidays we had back to Kiel, which there are a few killer albums where the amount of photos are tremendously alot. But I am hopeful that I would be able to finish completing my entire Multiply webpage up-to-date before the end of April!
Other than sightseeing in Prague, this weekend to Prague was indeed good and resourceful. I found out alot of things about my ex husband, more than I ever know before, things that could just make me faint out of horror! I can never imagine the things going behind my back that he has done and said. True, after learning the facts and truth from her, my initial reaction and feeling was shocked, hurt and slightly angry. After all that we have been through for the past 12 years, all the help not only myself but my own parents have given to him and his family, I cannot imagine he would go and stoop till such low levels to gain trust and respect and etc from others by creating such stories. But then...... after some time, and alot of advicing from her, I told her the truth. Initially... after hearing her tell all these to me from not only her but other of his ex colleagues, I am truly angry hurt and sad. But then again, it has been so many years, and also its been 5 years now. Our little girl is already 5. I don´t see a point of being angry or hurt with him anymore. Because for me, I know and he knows, what truly happened between the two of us. I myself know what really happened and what didn´t. I answer to no one human but to God. God Himself can see what we all have done. So there is no point in getting pissed and angry about it. All has passed. We all have moved on. I will just take my past as a very strong learning curve. I will not clarify with him, nor will I clear my name with the people whom he has tarnished it so bad. Instead, like my daughter every night does, I will say a prayer, that God will still take care and protect him irregardless of where he is. For me, I love everyone - after the time of hurt and pain has crossed, and the time of thinking has crossed, I will still continue to love even the ones who hurt me so bad. And, for the sake of our growing daughter, who is already now living a new life 10,000km away from her birth land, I just wish for her to grow up into a beautiful successful and loving woman. The rest is of no concern. We are all mankind, growing old and dying eventually. I put my faith and love in God, just like how my parents have taught my daughter to do. I will do the same with her.
Thank you for this nice trip to Prague together with you, my dear friend. It was indeed nice bonding with you, although in such circumstances. I appreciate all your advice and info (even if it is like many years too late, but... like the saying says, better late than never ;) ) but you need not fear. The past is indeed behind both me and Amelia. We are now living the present and making the most out of it together with the people around us who loves us.
