i'm not nothing out of the germans but sometimes i am placed on nothing with the german people german think deep into the german culture. you don't seem to get this grammar there you go it's all about who know i'm right so join me for me to get on to the course. from polar bears to handbags and they all add up because they are and that's the date so we're going to visit the well past kent. and with that very well welcome to another dish and all of your a mix and this is what else we have lined up for you. europe's last chair has carry

heavy loads to slovakia's monk and iconic maggot mean his chips for a perfect weekend in grenada spain. what's an essential part of every birthday writes the cake but the creations in our 1st report today are more office work then pastry they are made by cake autists comparing at the cake international in birmingham england and they've come up with all kinds of bizarre ideas we joined cake on his bed callen at the fair and watched him create something very special. otherwise known as the biking. and his world is that of cake artist every year the best from around the world meet

at the cake international in birmingham england. this year some 1300 bakers professionals and amateurs are here to present their creations. some of these artworks it's hard to tell but they are in fact cakes. such as this life size effigy of a character from the t.v. series killing eve. my favorite thing for me is seeing so incredible. you know comin in. my skin realizing in the industry your level how you can improve things you can do things that other people do that just really give you stronger ideas. than colin's own entry to the chimpanzee life size at one metre high and 80 kilos but this one is edible ben put 4 days of work into it. the

biggest challenge doing this was actually trying to get the stunts how they say it is so so so strange then i thought when i started it and it's a cross reference so many different photos of where that happens go how their legs sort of fold into each other. in studio in north wales to form the chimpanzee he stuck several layers of pastry together and then cut them into shape . the cake are the studied part in graphic design his fascination with baking only developed later on. to learn how to mike was a simple as ring you mom. and scientology in my thoughts genuinely how it started when i wanted to write the 1st one i had not the foggiest could. he modeled the schools bone structure and fudge. he also used the multiple sugar paste to sculpt the facial features as well.

this is now what the public are going to see what the client's going to say this is the final bit so it's really you have to go deep in thought my show you get in every line because if i were to make a mistake. made an hour of bacon $62014.00. he makes a living from his creations for birthdays weddings and anniversaries. in addition he also maintains his own you tube channel. with mike it's often that nobody sees the mica they just see the finished pace well i like people seeing the inside the behind the scenes the process of how it got so what it looked like. then colin puts the finishing touches on his chimpanzee case with food coloring.

at this stage i know it's going in the right direction but there's a lot more to do there's the whole body a lot more than if you do the tongue so there's a long process ahead but i'm really happy with. the completed work to some 20000 cake lovers. but he's already got ideas for new projects. one of the main things i want to get around to doing is doing a walk in you know the house of interactive you can walk in it and sit in it so i live in it for a few minutes and yet you can. then cullen will need some fairly original ideas to stand out among the legions of imaginative cake bakers. one cake is more off the wall than the next but they all look good enough to eat.

when you think of share this thing you may as immediately come to mind these people from tea but traditionally work as porters but here in europe we have a few remaining mountain porters to carry tons of food drinks and material up to the mountain shelters in the slovakian tetra national park without destroying the courage of skill the mt lodges could not exist and twice a year the european sharpest meet for a cup of titian to find out who is quickest at carrying heavy loads to the top. 50 sherpas set off on a race each carrying 60 kilos of supplies on their backs through the high touch of mountains of slovakia. for many hikers the route would be too hazardous even without the extra weight on their backs. but time is the main challenge sherpas like stefan back our face as they navigate the 6 kilometers of

rocky paths to the finish. it's not a special you know the whole things more a matter of the mind. but there are some difficult moments. can get tough to get over but that's where the shepherds pride comes into it you have to get the job done. normally steffen back or would make the climb to the lodge alone he makes up to 3 trips a day. at the base camp and study smoke of it he packs all the supplies on his back frame that people will need high in the mountains. to feel like he can heave up to 100 kilos onto his shoulders. look i'm nobody the strength comes from inside from the mind but mainly from the

hot. in summer as in winter the sherpas keep the lodges of the high touch are supplied and open to serve hikers and mountaineers the region's flora and fauna are unique in europe. so i was that of us to sort of gives the strength of that over but it's great to be out all day makes around this part of nature. or you can't do this job if you don't love nature there are what we do involves a sensor. ecological responsibility only because we carry the supplies up to the lodges can they be maintained without roads or cable cars or even helicopters. sometimes when the lodges are short handed it's part of the sherpas job to stay and help out so the largest depend on them in more ways than one to be able to stay open. in

a sense it's magical. because lobel it's like an island of freedom to me is that far away from the hectic business world with nothing but a mountains all around. and people completely different topic. but it's different by koreans down in the valley he helps his wife run the sherpa cafe. the cafe has its own little museum where patrons can get an impression of the hard life sherpas had and still have. they're only about 50 of them in europe. they're principally men who have a strong will and they're driven by an almost fanatical love for the mountains those are the traits where. the last few metres of the sherpa race. the fastest

among them cover the $700.00 metre climb to the robbers lodge at some 2000 metres elevation and about one hour and 20 minutes. right at the finish line almost half an hour later but all of them are satisfied. to get some of this is simply my life it's not just a way for me to earn money. is just incredibly fun. it's hell for 2 hours but it's all the more fun afterwards. that i thought the great thing about this competition is that. only type of you know daily routine we have no time to communicate round the whole year we never get to meet up like we do here it's super diffuse out of the whole because. i support. after the winner is awarded think finally have time to party. but the very next morning the sherpas of the high touches keep their loads on to their fabrics and set out once again to

keep the largest supplied with everything they need. it's starting to get cold in many parts of europe but in on the lucia in the south of spain it's the long mostly sunny and mild the reach of us not very far from north africa and there are many remnants of the time when the muslim invaders from north africa rule their one of their strongholds was the city of nada and that is where my colleague magalie spent a perfect week at. your . own law and welcome to my perfect weekend in grand isle. a good way to get an overview of this city in southern spain is from the middle and or decide you can last square it also provides the finest you are not his most famous landmark the. my 1st

stop here is this medieval fortress complex the most visited site in all of spain it was billed as a residence for the mauritian emirs and sultans of course not at all the splendor of their islamic art comes into its own in the old labrat non-sweet palaces here i meet up with the hombres head archaeologist. he explains to me in detail the typical features of the not sure it style and even in this inscription we see a mix of a floral ornamentation and verses from the koran with patents. in the koran all of that together results in a very meticulous style. perhaps the most famous part of the complex is the court of the lines named for its fountain with 12 stone lines. every sultan wanted to build his own palace to clermont respect from he's got us like. the

sultan's also built their own summer palace called the hangar a leaf a full of gardens fountains and artificial streams. this is my culture tip taking a tour of the alhambra. are not as old as quarter the alba scene is located at the foot of the hombre morrish influences are just as visible here too i walk through the narrow streets to the city center where i'd like to sample some of the popular local cuisine. grenada like the rest of spain has the typical top us culture but here it's slightly different let's find out what. the guy manual studio explains what's so special about it these topis cost all of nothing. right now that this is almost upon us i'd like to offer you a call to see. if you got a tweet. or whatever you put off that's what i call genuine hospitality.

not part way at this bizarre you can almost imagine you're in the tails of 1001 nights in fact it was once an air of market for silk fabrics today the range is much broader and i even find just the right accessory for my flamenco class which takes place tomorrow. i'm going to meet up with carmen vienna a dance instructor at the municipal flamenco school. seen carmen in action here i'm a little scared i don't know what i've gotten myself into not don't worry come on let's go. tour just like myself and sign up for a lesson here after just one hour i think some real progress.

another highlighting we're not as old town is the renaissance cathedral it was built by christian marx after the end of morris rule in 1492. tucked away here is. an aerobatic dating back to the 11th century and one of the oldest structures and granada. now it's a museum no bathing allowed but even so the middle eastern bath culture lives on in this city. in a modern with warm and cold basins. so there you go to google for. 1000 of those so there were all the protrusion a month ago now that. really that is the. deal. and this is my specialty for a perfect weekend in grenada experiencing a real. me.

and finally my trip is not complete without visiting a flamenco show that's what grenada is famous for most of the shows are put on in caves. to be saddled although this is all improvised it's what we feel in our hearts and want to convey to the public. and for me it's the perfect end to a perfect weekend. and magen has lots more tips on perfect weekends on our you tube channel check it out and find more exciting places like company hagen prague and bullet for it decades germany was really known for its truffles but 17 years ago french called john the do men made a stunning discovery in
