And back in the land of the living After a lovely cold shower I collapsed onto the bed for one of my nearly traditional unplanned snoozes . I was eventually up and about again by 6 pm and I’ve just spent the last hour and a half wandering around the old town again it really is stunning and with the sun now down behind the buildings it is bearable. The temperature supposed still 30°, but actually it doesn’t feel like it.

I’ve ended up sitting streetside at the Marai bistro. It’s not the kind of place I would normally choose, but I couldn’t resist it with the two guys playing music in the doorway.









I ordered a beer and a chicken paprikash to start proceedings



The chicken came on the bone and was absolutely delicious and as was the sauce, the only negative point for me, they managed to hide little bits of cauliflower in the noodles
