Bulls blood? Yes please!
... went back to one place and bought 2 bottles of semi-sweet, to another and filled up a 2 litre plastic bottle with bulls blood. In total, this little excursion including tastings and purchases cost us NZ$20. Winning! We braved the quiet town again. There is nothing more awkward than being the only patrons in a restaurant, or approaching a restaurant when its absolutely empty. We found a pizza cafe, which had...OMG 2 other people inside! Easy ...
The Valley of the Beautiful Women

Hate to think how much it would have cost in NZ. But so much cheese ...

The Basilica and The Library

Carved and gilded oak provides a warm atmosphere where to sit and read (although the books are so old here they can only be handled by gloved hands). The Library was opened in 1793 and today holds over 160,000 volumes of theology, philosophy and social sciences. The ceiling ...
Day 4: Hortobagy 101 - Attention!
... Somehow he manages to control them without falling as they run faster and faster. I even was even allowed to ride one of the horses for a few minutes (no saddle).
The most fascinating animals were the water buffalo. They are really happy just lounging away in the muddy water. We also saw Raczka Sheep with spiral horns, Grey Cattle and oxen. The sheep are kept ...
