Healthy food!

Because the apartment we're in doesn't have a well-equipped kitchen ie. no pans, cooking utensils, we've tended to buy most of our food from takeaways which is obviously not good and I'm getting sick of the limited selection there is around the hotel. Yesterday we treated ourselves to lunch in a French restaurant that serves organic food. It was so good! I had lentil, lemon and a green leafy veg soup, served in a bread bowl and Laurence had a huge Greek salad. It was a relief to be eating something so fresh and good for us. Tonight we had a cucumber and tomato salad with feta, olives and flatbread. That was also great. We only eat fruit for breakfast so that's something.

To explain how ill-equipped the kitchen was here. We arrived to two plates and one knife (?!) in the whole kitchen! There is a kettle but there were no mugs, two ring job and no pans etc. we asked for crockery and cutlery but didn't think we'd be here long enough to need pans. It looks like I may need to ask for them after all.

We are currently looking for an apartment nearer the school and a few of the English teachers have given me numbers for buildings they know. Apparently it's better to find something through word of mouth as there are some areas we wouldn't want to be in!
