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

Guess how much it cost for an hour and a half on the internet? 400ft! You do the math, haha.
Tomorrow we plan to travel all the way to Mosonmagyarovar. Talk to you ...
Day 3: Rare Birds
... On the island, we persevered through the attacking mosquitoes towards the watch towers giving us sweeping views. Along the route are billboards describing mayflies which bloom each year for a couple weeks (May/June). I thought this was great, since I grew up with summers in Gimli, Manitoba where the same event occurs - I have fond memories of crunching them under my feet, power-hosing them off ...
