Off to the Market

Today, we went on a shopping trip via bicycle. The first stop was IKEA, which is about 6km away, to buy another wardrobe for our bedroom. One of the things that our little house lacks is a closet of any kind and with additional clothes arriving in our shipment from the U.S. (along with many other duplicates of items provided in the rent house), we needed some more storage space. Luckily, we found one on sale! (It's just like the one below, but in white.)

Our New Wardrobe

Obviously, it is a little large to tote back on a bike, so we scheduled a delivery for this upcoming Tuesday. We also bought some other goodies for our home, like something to hold our shampoo in the shower (it was previously being stored on the floor), some plastic cups (we only had small mugs), and some candles.

When we got home from our initial trip, we refueled with some eggplant mini pizzas and headed back out to the cheese shop, the market, and the olive shop. We bought a new bag for my bicycle that sits over the top of the back of the bike.

The bag looks a little like the one above. I also bought a new scarf, which I'm excited about because it is quite a bit warmer than the one I've been wearing. All in all, it was a pretty successful shopping day and a nice little adventure on the bike.
