Last year I decided that I will miss Advent in Prague.<\/strong> and I'll go out into the heat. No frosts, no stress,<\/strong> just disappear for three whole weeks and not come back until Christmas Eve. I combined business with pleasure and set off for a language course in Barbados<\/strong>. How did I spend these three weeks?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

My last day in Barbados started like every day at six in the morning and I must admit that I didn't want to get out of bed at all. I got the last breakfast<\/strong> and then all that was left for me was packaging<\/strong>. That was a regular puzzle, because I'm taking home a lot more stuff than I originally brought here.<\/p>

I had to be careful to wrap every bottle of rum<\/strong> and with a heavy heart to throw away a few small things that simply didn't fit in the suitcase anymore. Honestly, it was a fight for every square centimeter.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Besides packing, I also managed to go to the beach. I still had a few hours before departure, so I decided to last visit to the beach<\/strong>. Over the past three weeks, I've grown incredibly fond of this place and saying goodbye to the warm sand was really hard.<\/p>

After a quick shower, Kaya loaded me into the car and took her to the airport<\/strong>. We talked the whole way and I really didn't want to go into the European winter because this vacation in paradise was absolutely flawless.<\/p>

As soon as I got on the plane, there was a eight-hour flight to London<\/strong>. The journey was peaceful and in the morning I woke up in the British capital, where a completely different climate awaited me than in the Caribbean.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I deliberately took the time to take a quick tour of the city to soak up some of the Christmas atmosphere. I wanted to see the Christmas tree and the monuments, but since it was early in the morning, the lights were unfortunately off.<\/p>

On the other hand, I was so tired that I could have easily skipped this trip and booked an earlier flight. It was a good try, but after a night on the plane, my body was clearly saying it wanted to be home in bed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

When I got back to the airport, I went to the lounge for two coffees and a drink and watched the planes take off. The flight to Prague was just a quick one and that officially ended my December adventure.<\/p>

I took a lot with me...<\/b><\/p>
