Glastonbury is an historic town in the beautiful county of Somerset. You only have to walk down the high street to know you are in a spiritual place; there are lots of bookshops with books on all sort of spiritual subjects and how to live in harmony with nature, and crystal shops and of course lots of cafes and restaurants (mostly all have good vegetarian options as well)Right in the middle of Glastonbury is the Abbey, where King Arthur and his Guinevere are buried, or so they say. It dates back to the 8th century and was a thriving monk community until 1184 when a great fire destroyed most of the buildings.

Several areas we will look at to determine if it's lucrative; first it's track record, then the product and finally the profit potential.

Restaurants and Bars - You do not get water for free, you have to pay for it. If you order water you will get carbonated water. In most restaurants you can request tap water and they may or may not charge you but it is most likely straight from the sink. In some American fast food restaurants, (i.e. McDonalds) you must pay for ketchup as well. Be aware that the menus at most fast food restaurants in Germany are not exactly the same. You may also notice that a sandwich that you recognize from back home may taste a little different or it could be smaller.
