This is so relaxing we’ve almost, but not quite come to a standstill. Yesterday we went in to the WiFi cafe for our morning coffee and to send the email. We then went off on a merry chase looking for some oil the car needed. This was hard to find and very annoying but eventually we did find it. We then went to our favourite Mussel restaurant for lunch and once again indulged in the most delicious Mussel Soup with wine, of course, everything is with wine!!
A stop at the supermarket and then back we come to head straight down for swims and a read and a lie around until dinner of antipasto, picky things. We go to bed early and we get up late.
Today, we head off down for our morning swims, finish off the antipasto for lunch then kind of mooch around in or out of the water as we see fit. Then we decided we were just being too lazy so we picked ourselves up and headed up the stairs to the car. We went up to the Caste above where we are which is Italy and Slovenia rolled into one and I never know which country I’m in.
We went to this fabulous Botanic Garden that is replicating the micro-climates of the caste with all the native plants. It really was lovely and quite unique. Then we went to one of the many wineries, (Osmizas), I described them last year but they make their own rough but cheerful wine, you sit in fabulous settings and have a hard boiled egg and some wine. They get packed with people at the end of the day and the atmosphere is great.
We then stopped at a little restaurant up in the Caste before coming home. It’s very hairy coming down the stairs to the house after dark and I’m always glad when I make it without falling down the precipice.
Time is going fast and soon I’ll be on my own again navigating Budapest but I’m loving this respite and the company while I have it.
