Chicken tries Absinthe
Ok, soooo, I can finally say everything is not all ‘awesome’
The short version…Am very disappointed, now in the czech republic we thought we would have to try some ‘real’ absinthe, and found out it does not make you see Kylie Minogue fairies like on Moulin Rouge (the movie), we did the whole melting of sugar on a spoon, it tasted kind of nice….however many more later, this chicken found out that absinthe just makes you very, very sick. We were going to head out towards Prague, however, instead spent the whole next day in bed (Todd had to go and ask for an extra night as everyone else couldn’t move from the bathroom), luckily the room was free for another night and I was free to sleep the day away. Actually, I should mention, we had a fun night, we found a place to go dancing, got very lost, sign language (not sure if that was because the person I was talking to couldn’t understand english, or just couldn’t understand me – lol) and the usual general silliness, so all wasn’t lost.
Not really much else to say, a couple of days later, I am still feeling sick, heading out to Prague. Oh yes, I do have one thing, breakfast. I am used to a bit of cereal, fruit and maybe some bacon and eggs. Because we get up early to drive or to sight see, I have been eating a lot of fresh bread, it’s cheap, you don’t need anything with it and it’s yum, it’s always interesting to see what each country offers, here is what was included for our breakfast:
The photo is on a strange angle, must be that absinthe (I will now blame all bad things on that evil drink – hehe), however it is just a big plate of cheese and meat, and it’s funny, it’s not that much different to having eggs and bacon, but I just can’t stomach it (for lunch I would be happy to have it), it’s amazing how we get so accustomed to what we are used to. They also offered bread rolls….so, bread it was again!
Now we are leaving Cesky (a little sad because I never got to walk around early in the morning to avoid the crowds), and heading off to Prague.
PS. I just read a bit more about absinthe…. hmmmm, now I understand why I was very, very sick. It seems the quantities we drank were a little/lot high! ….although, I didn’t really need to read that to know…was very much aware!
