What a way to start the day- Turkish coffee and a light breakfast of Milena's fresh bread, salami, sir (cheese) , various jams , sundried tomatoes and fresh capsicum all homemade.
Bearing in mind that life is very relaxed on a Sunday, we meandered our way through sleepy villages, stopping at will for coffee and vino. We managed a WiFi fix about thirty kms away which will see us through until tomorrow...back to our piece of heaven on the Danube to spend the rest of the afternoon relaxing by the river.
Milena served our main meal of the day at 4pm- a traditional dish called "Perkelt" - a fish called Som which is sheatfish, (something we have never heard of ) cooked in a mouth watering tomato sauce, accompanied by homemade noodles with cottage cheese mixed through it and of course bread to mop up with. It was absolutely delicious!
Of course a walnut torte followed which meant that we went for a five kilometre walk as penance!
We are getting to know our hosts really well and Geoff is picking up a few words of Hrvatski !!! Nothing like immersion to bring one up to speed and we are loving every minute.
Milena had another surprise for us last night - strukli - an amazing pastry with cheese, which we ate with kulen, the homemade specialty salami of the area and sundried cherry tomatoes . We have been well and truly spoiled, an experience of a lifetime.
We are exploring another area close by this morning then we are watching Ivan prepare his specialty meal on the outside fire in the afternoon. He told us we will drink rakija and pivo (beer) while it cooks..... dobro, super !!!
How will we find the strength to leave?
