We had 1st class tickets and a driver awaiting our arrival with his little sign at the arrival gate ready to take us to the funky boutique hotel Scotty had chosen for us.
The whole trip there went perfectly smoothly. We arrived at about 9pm so went out and grabbed a bite to eat at a great restaurant just up the street.
The next day we booked ourselves in for a tour which we never do but went for it this trip.
We met the tour group at the Church Of The Virgin Mary and off we went. What a spectacular church that is! We would find ourselves coming back to this church over and over again.
The tour started off cold and boring and we both looked at each other with that look of 'If we split would they even know'! Im glad we hung in there though because it got way better and we had the best day and what an amazing city. So many beautiful places and so much brutal culture to take in. Very interesting though.
Now I am writing this entry almost 2yrs later so I don't really remember what we did when etc, it all kind of blurs into one.
One night we decided to get theatre tickets. We picked out the one that we thought looked and sounded the best and put on our best clobber and headed out. Well. Not exactly what we had had pictured in our minds when we arrived. We arrived to a small room with about 50 chairs and a tiny stage (or more like a big box to stand on).
Just by looking at the brochure we thought we had picked the best and most exciting show at a huge theatre where everyone would be all dressed up with binoculars in hand. By the looks of it everybody else that had purchased tickets had thought the same thing.
Not only was the venue not what we expected by the production was pretty bad to. Scotty fell asleep then almost fell off his chair when he got startled. As of that moment I just couldn't hold it together and got the silent giggles. I had my head in my hands for the rest of the show.
Yep the brochure was definitely the best part of the whole experience.
We went and topped the evening off with a sex museum which was fricken hilarious! They were into some seriously weird stuff back in the 1800's I tell ya. Made us laugh and shell shocked for the rest of the night.
Hmm what else did we do.
Ah we went to an old skool jazz club one night. Was very cool. Very very smoky also. Had to sit right near the door to keep getting whiffs of fresh air. Gotta love a genuine old jazz club.
We had a day just walking around the river and parks and just sitting and people watching in the squares. Everything was just so beautiful and exciting to watch.
Bit Chilly!
