Prague the Third
This morning the first thing on the agenda was "Chocolate for Breakfast" according to the "use-it" map for Prague. Despite it being about 1pm it was still breakfast for us for intensive purposes and it was very good advice. I ordered a hot chocolate with ice cream and a "large chocolate cake". I don't normally take photos of food but these were pretty good:
I also didn't take any other photos today so I had to put these in. The hot chocolate was a bit like hot chocolate dairy food but more chocolatey. Seemed like eating it with a spoon was the appropriate method though. Mickey was weird and ordered a hot chocolate with a cabbage leaf thing but I have to admit the cabbage thing was pretty damn good.
We then went to hunt the museum of communism. We wandered to where we thought it was and found a massive building covered in scaffolding. We suspected that Prague did not want us to learn anything while we were here. We went to a nearby information center and found that we needed to go through an archway to get to a courtyard where the museum is. We found it from there and it was quite good. Again, it helps that I know nothing about communism or what happened in Czechoslovakia after WWII. I think I learnt things about stuff.
We were hoping to go to Terezin tomorrow (a "transitional" camp the Nazis used to take people to before they were taken to Auschwitz) so we went searching for bus routes and such. It turned out to be quite tricky (it also didn't help that we couldn't pronounce Terezin) but we got some info. For dinner we went to get hot dogs (recommended by the use-it map) but to no avail, he had closed for the day. Instead we got pizza and headed back to the flat.
In the evening we played some "chase the lady" (cards) and I discovered I am pretty shit at it.
Before we went to bed we figured out that we did not have enough time to go to Terezin on Saturday so flagged that idea.
