Fresh fish in Ajuy

Spent the day yesterday driving around the island, discovering new beaches. We stopped in Ajuy for a swim and lunch. Here you have a fine specimen of fried Bocinegra.

A new challenge: Caldereta

Having survived the heat, huge amounts of food and drinks and dancing at yesterday's wedding, today we met up at lunchtime to face the local specialty of Cartagena: Caldereta

The name means something like a "little pot" or a "little broth", but there's nothing little about it. A fish broth is made by boiling heap loads of local fish. Then rice is prepared with the broth. Then you eat the heaps of fish with platefuls of rice. Totally filling, and incredibly delicious.

This was for just one person

Still discovering the joys of Czech cuisine. Here's a half duck, roasted. With red and white cabbage and dumplings.

I'll probably regret it, but I ate the whole thing. Washed down with a delicious Moravian rosé (well, actually, 2)

I like Prague.
