Medieval Festival

The best people to go with to such a festival are actually the ones who know a lot about Medieval fighting, swords and axes, bows and arrows... But they also apriciate medieval style clothes.

I think what I like the most was the demonstration of non-medieval birds of prey for medieval style hunting... For example they used some latin american hawks to demonstrate how medieval english men used to go hunting... Oh well one cannot have it all.

As the bird trainner said the name birds of prey should actually be "birds of Pray" because you hunt and then you pray that they will come back. The proof was that during the demonstration the medieval looking latin american hawk was attacked by non-medieval local seagulls and disappeared to run - or rather fly - for his life...
