Dinner and dessert

After our boat ride we headed for an early dinner.  The special meal for the night was Iskander kebab.  Pieces of flavorful meat on top of diced bits of bread, served with a large dollop of yougert.  I really liked this meal!

We were taken to a specialty dessert shop afterwards called Farugulluogul.  Or as a colleague called it "Gorilla Glue"!  The name is a mouthful, but so is the food.  We got sampler platters of 4 different kinds of baklava.  I always thought that baklava was baklava and it just came in different shapes with more or less honey to make it sticker.  I was wrong.  All four types that we sampled were totally different and totally delicious.


Our baklava would not have been complete without pistachio ice cream.

Some of the specialty cakes that were on display at 'gorilla glue' shop.  Five tiered wedding cakes too! Wow.
