Back in Sinny

Finally, back in Sydney after a very long adventure. Summer is delightful, but the risks of over eating and drinking are extreme, as will be the humidity pretty soon. Fun but.

My new coat

It is so so chilly in Macedonia. My new coat (which weighs 3.1 kgs) has come in very handy.

Here I am one cold afternoon at some old ancient Roman town somewhere in Macedonia, freezing to death as the sun set at 4 pm. It was interesting, and according to the Macedonians, its presence proves that they are entitled to call their country "Macedonia" irrespective of anything the Greeks might say.

Here is another shot of me and Tanja, who works on the project, at the History of Wine museum. She has a rather out there coat as well.

Next stop: BKK, where it should be a little warmer, then on to Sydney.

Xmas in Sofia

Christmas is really coming - the lights are up, trees are decorated, and the ginger bread house is enormous. Think of the stomach ache, particularly if it is not gluten free ginger bread.
