Ton and I have been married 41 years but we still mis-communicate with each other. The plan this morning was to head to Bucharest and we were just about done packing up by 9 am. Ton said she was going to call her friend in Thailand before we took off, so I went and sat down and was enjoying my coffee and taking in the incredible view in front of François.
As I was sitting there I was really enjoying myself and decided to propose a day off to Ton, while she was still speaking to Dang in Thailand I stuck my head in and said lets take today off. Ton immediately agreed, and went back to talking to Dang, and I went back to my coffee.
What I meant by a day off was sitting around listening to the birds and enjoying the view while relaxing and having another coffee, then maybe a nap and a short walk. What Ton meant by a day off was a 70 km round trip drive to Ruse, to walk the town, wash François, and do a final Bulgarian food shopping expedition at a Lidl. Anyway we were off for Ruse about 30 minutes later for our day off.
We accomplished everything on Tons list but the walk thru Ruse as I could not find parking in the city center of Ruse. Instead we substituted a wine tasting at a winery on the way back from Ruse. The wine tasting was nice and interestingly it involved only wines taken directly from the vats, or barrels which we enjoyed.
Next time I ask for a day off I am going to have to be a little more specific!
