Monday 17th August - lovely day


MONDAY

Absolutely beautiful day!

Decided to paint today so went for walk to armoury.

On the way there found a book market. Couldn't find any good place to stop, so walked around town and had lunch (nice) in Casanova's.

Walked back to flat, had rest and then out to search for place to paint. Found heaven instead.
Chocolate shop.
Bought loads.

Then went out on tour of area.

Saw houses of interest, glass museum, royal halls (where had to put on really funny over shoes to walk on parquet flooring - police guard nearly fell off his chair laughing at me) This is the black house in Rynok Square - supposed to have magical qualities! Then we went back to Chocolate shop (why did we discover this marvellous place so late in the holiday - and just round the corner?????) for drink of chocolate - actually cup of the most delicious melted chocolate you will ever ever taste. Had to eat DH's too.

After snooze in flat, bloated with chocolate, we got dolled up and went to hotel'opera, but sadly rooftop restaurant closed (why?) and told to come back tomorrow.

Found nice place not far from where we were staying and had a good meal - am beginning to yearn for wine! It was such a beautiful Summer night - "a warm wind blowing the stars around" - and deeply romantic.

Back home to our apartment and bed. Mosquito bites starting to itch. Bastard.
