Prague






We had a magical weekend in Prague. It is such a beautiful city to walk around. Went on a history tour the first day which was very interesting. Ate fantastic food and tried the local spirit made from cloves! We went on a romantic date to an old baroque cathedral to listen to a classical strings concert. It was amazing.

"You Can Leave Your Ham On"




He He Bulgarian tom foolerie in the supermarket! None of the staff wanted to dance though, i dont know why not : (

Popovo







This lake is just down the road from where we were staying. One day Sheleen took us to a traditional Gypsy market! To us that sounded fab and we got all our money ready to embrace beautiful things but heck it was WAY different to what we expected. The majority of the stalls were equiped with every kind of gun you have ever heard of. These markets also specialised in Shuriken, so throwing stars nuckle dusters and what not. HECK! bit scary. Then we went to a few shops where they sold stuff made by the Babas (grandmothers). These shops were a bit more to our liking, lots of beautiful rugs and other hand made trinkets.

goaties and doggies







We had a fun time walking the dogs around the lake and playing with the goats. We also picked one million walnuts which Beth then obsessed over trying to come up with the ultimate walnut dish, potato salad works well.
