Sushi Workshop

We volunteered our pad for a sushi workshop organised by a friend of ours. Was a great night with 16 people learning how to make ngiri, hand rolls (conical), inside out rolls and california rolls. I can't wait to go back to Oz and show my mum some of these new tricks so she can try them out herself when she entertains. We have not had so many people before in our apartment and the windows fogged up with all that body heat. Was great fun and there was lots of green tea and white wine guzzled down as well.

Black and White Croatia

After a week in Ireland, we spent a week in Croatia with Paul's parents.

Highlights were:

* Delicious food at Restaurant Fosa in Zadar

* Sea Organ (wind pipes creating music from the waves)

* Catching a small little boat to the Old Town in Zadar

* Lunch at the Kornati Islands

* Moreska Sword Dance in Korcula

* Walking around the fishing village of Lumbarda

* Walking on the City Walls of Dubrovnik

Embarrassing moment:

* Turning up at the wrong apartment and explaining to the perplexed owner that we were the guests that he was waiting for....only to find out we were at the wrong place

Lowlights:

* Paul's dad got food poisoning in Korcula from the seafood

* Downpour in Dubrovnik

* Mega Cruise Ships unloading thousands of day trippers at Dubrovnik

* Wearing summer gear for boat trip to Kornati (we were freezing!!)
