Our Romantic Meal! |
Had a really lovely few days here, me and Jens got our free meal from Eeyore and Monique, Taiwanese dumplings with a tasty salad on the side. My god was it good! And very sweetly they even prepared a separate room with candles and stuff for us all (me, Jens, Benjamin, Eeyore and Monique) to go and eat in, twas rather romantic. Was a fantastic meal, all due credit goes to the girls for their hard work! I do love the people you meet when travelling.
Our Eel Meal! (Small cooked eel) |
As I mentioned we've been doing a spot of fishing in the river recently.. and the other day Jens and Benjamin brought back a WHOPPPER of an eel. Like an actual beast. 2ft long weighing about 3kg (which is apparently still small for an eel, but we didn't think so! It was still big enough to bite off fingers and that's quite big enough for me!) it will be cooked and eaten tonight. Eels are exceptionally hard to kill, after a frankly brutal demonstration from John, I took up an axe and tried my hand at beheading an eel. And succeeded! Although I got very muddy crawling under the decking of the outhouse to catch the eel that had escaped from Jenz's hands and shot like a snake into cover. It was dark, the eel can bite, and I was crawling in a small space. Recipe for disaster I know, but it worked so meh!
