Chinatown

Rained on our walk around Chinatown yesterday. Made a change from the routine of rain at night, clouds with hints of sun during the days. Got in touch with the locals by having lunch at the Chinatown Complex Foodcourt. Delicous dumplings, perfect pink prawns, needle like noodles and fantastic fresh fruit juice.

Claypot Chicken Rice

Tai Liok, Margaret Drive Food Centre, Queenstown. Secret ingredient dried salted fish. Miles at the helm mixing in the sticky soy. Delicious.

I don't want to go to Chelsea...

It does not move me... Didn't want to go to Adelaide either but Qantas took us there. Thought we had booked direct from Sydney to Singers as our tickets appeared to indicate but ticked off another Aussie city instead. Looked nice from the air. May have to go back some time to check out the wineries. Not quite "United you broke my guitar" but annoying at the time (read AB annoyed , Sue goes with the flow).

Other than that flights were good, not full, though strong winds in Oz slowed things down - over 4 hrs to get into Sydney from Wellington.

Have settled in with Miles at his apartment. Splendid host as always. Dinner last night on Holland Road. Rained last night so cooler than normal early on this morning, only 24 deg. Now 9:25am and is 29 deg and rising , humidity 71. May have to try the 50m pool at our complex later....
