PRAGUE DIARY 2 !

PRAGUE  - One of the world's great romantic wonders do to a beautifully preserved town filled with fairy tale architecture. A beautiful ancient city with dreamy fortresses and unique romantic cobblestone streets. The cobblestone streets are beautiful, as they vary in designs, but slightly uncomfortable so make sure you have good walking shoes on ;)

For all you ice cream lovers, Prague is definitely the place for you! Just walk around the city and you will find  delicious ice cream and sorbets,as we did!




 After all that cobblestone walking and ice cream eating we were desperately in need of a massage, so we headed to one of the best massage spots in Prague called -  MYSTIC TEMPLE - Body Care Studio! 
 We decided on one Dragon Stone massage (hot stones) and two classic massages AKA Swedish massages.
 Thai massage is an ancient healing system which combines acupressure Indian Ayurvedic principles and associated yoga postures.






After our Thai massages we felt totally rejuvenated, relaxed and refreshed. Now, off to the amazing Le Degustation for dinner. Not just any dinner but a Michelin star dinner!! Yum!!

                                                             La Degustation Kitchen
Ah, La Degustation (Michelin star restaurant), how elegant and sexy you are!!
 You can choose between two tasting menus: either the 6 course tasting menu -DEGUSTATION BOHEME BOURGEOIUS with wine pairing or juice pairing, or the 11 course meal (which we chose) with the juice pairing - DEGUSTATION DU CHEF.
Our servers were tres professional and elegant. While serving all our dishes they all wear white serving gloves. How chic!
An uber elegant restaurant, yet they suggest eating most dishes with.......your hands!!!!!







Our favorites of the 11 course meal were :
1- The tomato, mustard lovage- delectable!
2- Duck, white cabbage and thyme- soft and palatable.
3- Foi Grass and Pistachio nuts.

One of our favorite and most enjoyable desserts was the looooooong marshmallow that our server brought us and cut right in front of us . It was tres fresh and soft.

PRAGUE DIARY 1- SPA TIME- THAI FIT


Traveling is important!
1. It opens your eyes-  It makes you a more well rounded human being.
2. New food-  You will be constantly surprised by the flavors the world has to offer.
3. Travel provides you with new experiences and memories.
4. Relaxation- we need it!
5. Be immersed in a third or second language.
                                 
                                                                    PRAGUE
A tres beautiful and historical city located right in the middle of the Czech Republic. Prague is the only city in Europe that hasn't been bombed in World War 2, that is why Prague has preserved it's magical authentic architectural heritage. Every corner is picture perfect!


Prague- Old Town Center




                                             Beautiful historic Churches and Cathedrals are everywhere!
                                                           
                                                               THAI FIT
  After walking around the beautiful city of Prague for hours (it's a must to walk everywhere as not to miss out on anything!) and discovering obscure historical gems, we obviously had to be pampered. So we headed to one of the best known spas in Prague - THAI FIT-!

  Known for their wonderful Thai massages and relaxing atmosphere Thai Fit was a perfect ending for a breathtaking magical day walking around the city.

 We undressed and wrapped our bodies in the soft orange towels and meditated until our lattes were ready.




And now time for our authentic Thai massages.




We decided on the Lava Stone Massage with oil- special hand massage using essential aromatic oil and subsequent massaging with the hot stones.
 You will feel your tension fading away with the professional masseuses touch at Thai Fit. A perfect quick escape from stress for your body and soul. At Thai Fit your body and soul will set forth on a journey of total relaxation and complete well being.

We will keep you all posted with more of our adventures in Prague!

WINE, WINE AND MORE WINE!!! SALUTE!

                                               

Okay, besides being totally delicious, wine, is tres healthy for us! Well, not a bottle a day ;) but a glass a day sure is.

* Studies find that people who drink wine daily have lower body mass than those who indulge occasionally, moderate wine drinkers have less abdominal fat and narrower waists than people who drink liquor!!
* RESVERATROL- it is a key ingredient that helps prevent damage to blood vessels and prevents blood clots. Resveratrol is also an antioxidant that keeps you young!! Can't get better than that!

WINE-

1. It MAKES YOU FEEL CLASSY- You can be at home in your sweats but with a full glass of wine in hand you will feel tres classy!
2. You don't feel bloated like you do after beer.
3. No one will judge you for drinking a glass of wine during the day. Wine is always permittable, especially after a stressful work day.
4. When you are wine drunk you are smart drunk. While when you are drinking vodka cranberries or some kind of other hard drink you are totally stupid drunk!
5. Isn't' wine technically fruit? Fruit is tres healthy ;)

So go grab that glass (or two, or three, heck grab that bottle!)  some cheese and put on a cheesy romantic movie while in your sweats all cozy in bed! Oh what a classy and cosy night!

Our faves -

Red Wine- Catena Malbec (from Argentina).
White Wine- Moscato and Gewurztraminer (just ask for Gevertz).

Cheese- We love -Asiago  (even though it is usually paired with Cabernet Sauvignon we still like it with our Gevertz). Boursin cheese is usually paired up with Gevertz if you are strict on proper pairing.

Enjoy!

"They said one glass of wine is good for you, they never said how many times to fill it" ;0
"If we ever go missing, we want our faces on wine bottles instead of milk cartons, that way our friends will know we are missing"

*BLACK SEA*

                                                              ~ BLACK SEA ~



                                                                 ~  NA ZDOROVIE! ~


A treasure of a restaurant found at the Hatachana, in the old Rail Station in Tel Aviv. Located on a rooftop where you can enjoy the beautiful view of old Jaffa city and a great summer sea breeze.

We were welcomed by the sweet hostess, Ron, who recommended we try a very fresh summery cocktail that she herself concocted. It consisted of Crem de Casis, strawberry and lemonade, totally delish and leaves you happily slightly sloshed!!


Ron lavished us with starters! Roasted Red Peppers - with a marinade of honey & garlic, covered with cheese crumbs on top, formidable!. Miniature Peppers- stuffed with cheese and served with Polenta, finger-licking good! and Okroshka- cold soup based on yogurt and egg. Ceaser Salad with Shrimps, crunchy and appetizing , Fresh Vegetable Salad- olive oil, red onion , herbs and sour cream, very earthy and Lavash-  with Salaguni cheese and chopped greens which was delectable.







Main Courses - Seafood Pasta "Black Sea" gratifying and heavenly, Grilled whole grey Mullet- crispy, with a delicate, mild, fragrance of spices which was so impossible to stop eating till there was nothing left but the bone!  Steak Entrecote -(300g) with tomato chutney and baked potato, was delicious with a soft juicy virginal pink moist center, Lamb Chops- melted in our mouths, very full bodied,  and Sinta Steak- totally succulent! .






                                                                Delicious Desserts

The Black Sea Restaurant is a magical place with a kind hearted, professional staff (Ron is amazing!!) and outstanding cuisine. It is definitely a must go!
