1st November. Local Firewater Trip.

The tour of the Becherovka factory culminated in a tasting of the three variants of this herbal medicinal alcohol, the ingredients of which remain a closely guarded secret on the lines of the recipe for Coca-Cola.

Our guide was quick to emphasise that two shots was the recommended daily dose to benefit from its long proven health giving properties.

However Isabelle found the apperitif a little too 'medicinal'.

I felt it impolite to leave the proffered samples unconsumed so ended up drinking three times what is considered 'healthy'.

The resultant lightening of spirit and exaggerated sense of wellbeing seemed only to irritate Isabelle.
