The next week, back at my first work-away I spent most of the week weeding and clearing up the garden. Katie and Nathen, a British couple were also Workawaying there so we had good fun together.
They spent most of their week on different tasks, from digging a stream to getting the poultry ready to sell. As a result we had to try Sangeet, a strange omelette type dish of milk, eggs, parsley, onion and-the main ingredient, ducks blood. I was not a fan. Not only that but later that night when I broke out in a rash from head to toe that then started to swell I decided I must have had an allergic reaction to it. A great reason to never have to eat it again.
On Saturday our hosts decided to have a big dinner party so we spent the morning in the kitchen helping to prep everything from vegetables, to homemade chicken stock, to making mayonnaise, it was good fun. As we had the afternoon off we decided to go for a bike ride.
Easier said than done when the tires are flat (we realised halfway through) and the brakes don't work. And don't even get me started on the gears! The scenery however, was nice.
we took a short break at the serene lake before heading on.
Our cycling path/road
It was a hot sunny day so after about forty minutes we reached our destination and had a well earned ice cold drink.
Nathen and Katy
We then went for an explore around the quiet village
The central square
It was a very small but cute collection of houses, only taking us a few minutes to explore.
We then went home to help with the very ambitious 5 bird roast we were attempting to cook. After 9 hours of cooking it was finally done and the party was on!
