When I was small, my dad used to work at the cork factory in Budapest. He loved working with this special material. Cork comes from the bark of cork oak trees and Portugal is the biggest manufacturer of cork products. I wanted to bring home some nice cork souvenirs for my dad. I randomly went into a restaurant by the beach to ask if they had some corks from wine bottles, I thought maybe a handful. They gave me a whole plastic bag filled with them☺️ Any nice ideas what to make out of them?

They say that she would scribble her notes on napkins here and even that she finished her first Harry Potter book at this cafe. Of course, tourists nowadays line up in front to be able to soak in the atmosphere of Cafe Majestic.
