We both slept well after our long day and after an early breakfast headed towards Prague Castle and for the museum in the Lobkowicz Palace in particular. This palace is one of a number of palaces and castles owned by the Lobkowicz family. We had visited the major part of Prague Castle on our visit the previous year.
An audio tour comes with the standard entrance fee (£8 for oap's) and is essential to gain most from the tour. The music room, with scores annotated by Beethoven, I found particularly moving.
We had lunch in the adjoining restaurant and were surprised when the bill came out below our calculations! The waitress had seen our museum tickets and given us a discount which we were not even aware was available. Such fair treatment makes all the difference to a guest's experience (see tomorrow's blog for example).
We then walked across town to the National Museum, as it was closed on our visit last year. It is still closed. According to a woman selling tickets nearby it will remain so for a number of years to come.
We then walked down to the old town for pizza, pivo and plno gris before walking back along the right bank of the Vltava to our hotel
