Prague and chocolate

Today, I am pleased to announce that I had chocolate for breakfast. Just delicious chocolate. Paired with the frosty scenery while walking around Prague with our free morning, I'd say it's been an excellent start to a wonderful day! Chocolate is a wonderful substitute for the obvious lack of breakfast food available here. There was one shop that said they open at 11 and also that they stopped serving breakfast at 11.....Other shops  would advertise breakfast then when asked if they served breakfast they would say no. :/ That seemed to be the theme of every breakfast escapade we attempted, but my cup of literal "hot chocolate" was delicious though there was no way I could finish the whole thing!

Next we walked up to the Prague castle to listen to some chamber music and see the Lobkowitz palace museum where they had original manuscripts of Beethoven's 3rd 4th and 5th symphonies (whaaaa?!) and even Mozarts editions to Handels messiah! 
We then made our way to the Dvorak museum where we saw his desk passport and glasses, listened to reggae remixes of "largo" from new world and drew pictures of Dvorak to add to the collection they had there.
After that we ate dinner at the fabulous u fleku which was amazing and delicious- complete with live accordion serenading. Now we are on our way to go on a jazz boat cruise on the Moldau.... Wow! Wonderful, wonderful day, Prague!
