I wanted to travel to Jamaica to see my family, enjoy the sunshine, eat some yummy food and just be home. However, life had other plans, COVID-19 ruined my intentions to be home :-(. Nevertheless, I had my vacation days and needed to use them. So how about vacationing in my city, Prague :-). I decided to venture to all the places that I have never got the time to visit in Prague.
The first place was the Lobkowicz Palace, I was one of the few visitors there, many of times in the different room I was alone, and so I got the opportunity to experience the authenticity of the palace and its art pieces without the bustling of the many tourists that often visit Prague.
Some of the fascinating aspects I observed was how the Lobkowicz family has retained its heritage for hundreds of years. This just got me thinking that if it wasn’t for slavery probably I would have been able to trace my lineage and have many stories passed down to me, as displayed in Lobkowicz Palace. Another aspect was how I was able to experience the original music from Beethoven’s transcript.
The view from the palace was breath-taking and simply put Prague is one of the most beautiful city I have ever lived in and will remember this city dearly when I have continued with my travels.

After I visited the Lobkowicz Palace, I went to visit the Loreta, it is a monastery and this was the highlight of my day trip, it was awesome reading the stories of the different martyrs for Christianity, seeing the church with the lots... lots of gold, and the other relics it was definitely the highlight of the day and would recommend you take a visit.

I hope if you are in Prague you will take the time to visit these two places, it is definitely worth it :-).
