Soup and magnets

At this very moment I'm still in Slovenia. The weather sucks... but after 5 weeks of great weather maybe I shouldn't complain. O, what the fuck, no reason not to complain: The weather is just shitty. And to make it all some juicier, my bowels started to be kind of recalcitrant. And at the moment I'm writing this I'm eating the most disgusting soup I've ever had in my life... it's supposed to make me better. So let's hope it works, otherwise I've eating this stuff with the taste of, wel let's not give it a name, for nothing.

Where I actually ate a lot better was in Macedonia. Not that the hotel where we stayed had such a high profile kitchen, but on several occasions I had good meals. One of the places where I ate was near the main (tourist) street in Ohrid. Somewhere, semi hidden, was an entrance to a place, followed by a staircase which lead to a sober restaurant. The restaurant had two balconies, and on one of them I had my lunch, with a nice view on the main street (see picture) and on the background the most annoying sound of rattling magnets, sold by some idiot on the street who had to show the working of the stupid things every 10 seconds... But besides this moron it was a nice place to be and the food was quite ok as well.

And furthermore the weather was extremely good. Sunny almost every day, and high temperatures. Finally a holliday where the weather co-operates. In Netherlands at the same time the temperature reached the same tropical hight (as almost everywhere in europe). Not that it matters to me that at the moment I leave my home country the weather becomes great, not at all, as a matter of fact it always seems to go that way. And when I come back it will probably be the same drowsy weather as always. Well, again, I must not complain now... I'll do it later, hehe.
Well, as my bowels are trying to attract all my attention, this is it for now...
