jennings credible. well coming tonight. 3 weeks w. . from the polar bears to handbags and a whole cattle because they are a little late so we're going to visit the well past can. and with that very well welcome to nothing dition of your a mix and this is what else we have lined up for you. europe's last chapters carry

heavy loads true slovakia's month and my colleague mag of me has tips for a perfect weekend in spain. what's an essential part of every birthday writes the cake but the creations in our 1st reports today are more off 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 bench allen 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 that 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. is you know committed. by steve realizing in the industry how you can improve things you can do things that other people do that just really give you strong ideas. ben cohen's own entry is a chimpanzee life size at one metre high in 80 kilos but this one is edible then put 4 days of work into it. the biggest challenge doing this was

actually trying to get the stunts how they see 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 my was a simple as. and scientology in my thoughts genuinely how it started when i wanted to make the 1st one i had not the foggiest could. he modeled the skulls 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 say 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 i. made an hour of bacon since 2014. 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 cullen puts the finishing touches on his chimpanzee cake 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. lot more finicky detail the teeth the tongue so there's a long process ahead but i'm really happy with. here failed to completed work to some 20000 acres burning him but he's already got ideas for new projects. one of the main things i want to get around to doing is doing a war you know the house of interactive you can walk in it. sits in it live in it you know i mean for a few minutes and yet you can e to. ben cohen will need some fairly original ideas to stand out among the legions of imaginative kate bakers. one cake is more off the wall than the next but they all look good enough to eat.

when you think of chef is the himalayas immediately come to mind these people from t.v. traditionally work as porters but here and here we have a few remaining mountain porters to take carry tons of food drinks and material up sort of mt shelter in the slovakian tetra national park without destroying the courage of school the mt lodges could not exist and twice a year the european share pist need for a cuppa titian to find out who is quickest at carrying heavy loads to the top. 50 sure that 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 are faced as they navigate the 6 kilometers of

rocky paths to the finish. it's not a special you know the whole thing's more a matter of the mind. but there are some difficult moments can get tough to get over but that's where the shepherd's pride comes into it you have to get the job done. normally steffen back or would make the climb to the lodge alone you mix up just 3 trips a day. at the base camp and study smoke of it he packs all the supplies onto his back frame that people will need high in the mountains. if you. he can heave up to 100 kilos onto his shoulders. i know 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 it was that of us to so thoughtful just gives us strength about all because it's great to be out all day makes around we're a part of nature. or you can't do this job if you don't love nature there are what we do involves a sense. ecological responsibility only because we carried 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 stephan bach or if down in the valley he helped 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 half. there are 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 main traits. of. the last few metres of the sherpa race. the fastest

among them cover the $700.00 metre climb to the rafters lodge at some 2000 metres elevation in about one hour and 20 minutes. or arrives at the finish line almost half an hour later but all of them are satisfied. to get them 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 about rembrandt it was that i thought the great thing about this competition is that. only top of the you know daily routine we have no time to communicate throughout the whole year we never get to meet up like we do here it's super diffuse out of the whole of the hall though i. suppose. after the winner is awarded they finally have time to party. but the very next morning the sherpas of the high totters keep their loads onto their backs 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 on the lucia in the south of spain it's the mostly sunny and mild to 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 there one of their strongholds was the city of nada and that is where my colleague maggie least spent a perfect week at. you know. your . own law and welcome to my perfect weekend in grand isle. a good way to get an overview of this city and 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 granada all the splendor of their islamic art comes into its own in the labrat non's read palaces here i meet up with the hombres had archaeologist. he explains to me in detail the typical features of the not sure it style. even in this inscription we see a mix of floral ornamentation and verses from the koran with geometric patterns we get. all of that together results in a very meticulous style. perhaps the most famous part of the complex is the court of the line it's named for its fountain with 12 stone lions. every sultan wanted to build his own palace to clermont respect from his copy it's 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. we're not as old as quarter of the alba scene is located at the front 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. kind of man you were a studio explains what's so special about it these top us 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 treat. whatever you but that's what i call genuine hospitality.

not far away 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. scene carmen in action i'm a little scared i don't know what i've gotten myself into you know don't worry come on let's go. tour just like myself and sign up for a lesson here after just one hour i need some real progress.

another highlighting granada's old town is the renaissance cathedral it was built by christian monarchs after the end of morrish rule in $1492.00. tucked away here is. an aerobatic dating back to the 11th century and one of the oldest structures and granada. 'd 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. those are you cool cool doesn't you know. that's one of those so they were going to come on the ground up to prove that it's not. make deals. and this is my specialty for a perfect weekend in grenada experiencing a real. and

truly my trip is not complete without visiting a flamenco show that's what granada is famous for most of the shows are put on in capes. 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 mag and has lots more tips on perfect weekends on our you tube channel check it out and like more exciting places like company hagen proc and bullet for it decades germany was really known for its truffles but 17 years ago french called the g.
