Following our traditional English breakfast of fried gristle
slathered with generous helpings of fat
we make our way to our appointment to
view the Mithraic temple which was only discovered after those nice Germans
uncovered the site under a building during the blitz. For those without the
benefit of a classical education, Mithraism was an ancient Roman cult
involving stabbing bulls in necks while having one's testicles attacked by
crabs-those wacky Romans! Anyway it was a fine exhibition deep in the bowels of
the earth with evocative(whatever that means) sound and light
accompaniment.
| First stop after brekkie |
Walked back to apartment with some spectacular views.
Then it was off for lunch at
the most appropriately named Quality Chop House
-following this bachanalia we collapsed into a deep sleep and then it was off to see a production of La Boheme at 50 seater theatre-apart from the necessity for some audience participation this was a delightful evening.
Strange phenomenon here is that people keep coming up to me asking directions; what is even stranger is that always seem to know the answers, or an answer!
