On the winter vacations, I drove my way through all Baltic countries to the heart of Europe - a magnificent Gothic Prague. Endless snow-covered fields and forests of Latvia and Lithuania fascinated me with its fabulous views. But most of all I was filled by Polish landscapes. Small towns with ancient houses, cathedrals aspiring to the heights, steep streets, white hills on the horizon - all that will remain forever in my heart. I hope I will have the opportunity to ride in a car through this wonderful country, stopping at every wonderful place, attracting my eye. In early childhood I have been to Warsaw, but now I was able to refresh my memory. Reconstruction of this amazing city is a real feat. Each stone pavement and every piece of tile has been recreated here with an incredible love that literally lights up the streets. Unfortunately there was a heavy frost in Warsaw, and I was not able to enjoy views of the city sufficiently. But Prague met us with beautiful snowfall. St. Vitus Cathedral and Charles Bridge looked like Christmas toys in this weather. All day long we've been wandering through my beloved Prague, and in the evenings chilling in the best bar in the world - "Absintherie". This is a place with inexpressible atmosphere of decadence. While drinking Absinthe, the portraits of Baudelaire and Verlaine look down at you from the walls and you hear the sounds of the piano. Having accustomed to Prague we took a trip to Sedlec Ossuary. Visit it was my old dream. Millions of bones forming candelabra, chandeliers and other decorations of the church are incredibly impressive. You can walk here for a long time looking at the finest details of Ars moriendi. On the last day in Prague the sun was shining bright and the weather was just sweet. It was madly sorry to leave the beautiful heart of Europe, but Prague gave me her wonders beyond measure, and I'm still full of inspiration.
