Sounds like I used it correctly then since I did end up with sludge at the bottom.
4 years agoNope, not AirBnB. Other than the hotel in Zagreb that we booked with directly, we’ve used Booking.com for everything. Over here, apartments are often listed on Booking, and many of them also list on AirBnB. We find Booking much easier to work with, especially if you anticipate occasional changes of plans.
4 years agoYup. Biker magnets, we call them. You always wonder if there’s a medieval monster with its jaws wide open waiting at the end.
4 years agoIt's called a briki and is used for making Greek coffee, the kind that comes in a tiny cup half-full of sludge, as I remember.

4 years agoThis brought back such a funny memory for me. Keith manfully carrying his bike down the stairs in Germany and coming back up for mine, when the kindly bus driver hopped out of his bus and suggested we use the lift. Which was right there in plain sight...but we hadn’t seen it. We laughed so hard. The bus driver must have thought we were world’s most unobservant tourists!
4 years agoDr? Yeah, that was once a dream of mine!
I think you have found a common wall lizard. I have found them in the Cincinnati area myself, maybe 20 years ago and was surprised to find they are invasive here in southern Ohio, in that area.
