Mulled wine and fried mice

Just back from Europe
Groover and I ventured down to Clancy’s to catch up with some friends who are freshly returned from their first trip to Europe.
I thought they had been rather carefree and adventurous by not planning every step of their journey. It seemed to me romantic to head off, backpacks at the ready, but Feline said she wouldn’t do it again.
“Who wants to spend your precious holiday in an internet cafe planning and booking the next leg?” She said.
Well… quite.
They would have spent more time in Amsterdam and less in Prague.
They found a fabulous two room hotel in a little town near the border of Spain and France.
Jealous jealous jealous.
Feline and I imbibe mulled wine.
Mulled wine was on the menu along with chips and something called “fried mice” – jalopeno chillis deep fried.
I wasn’t keen on coming back to Clancy’s (the restaurant with the relaxed attitude to people changing nappies at the table… ewww), but it’s one of the few places where you can get mulled wine and it is delicious.
Although I did feel a little queasy after the second glass… that could have been the chips…
St Patrick’s at night.
Afterwards, as we walked past St Patrick’s Catholic Cathedral, I was glad I had found my camera. Not quite the Duomos of Italy perhaps but quite picturesque all the same.
