Food, glorious food!!!

What did I do in Europe? How did I manage to get up at 2am on Saturday mornings, caught a bus to the regional airport, flew to Europe, and got home at 2am on Monday mornings, in time for work at 9am?? what kept me going??

Food!!!

glorious food...


Gotta try these ...they give you natural highs!! and make you natural huge!!




Mouth watering Gelatos in Italy on a hot day. I had berries and granny smith gelatos, see those apple skin on the gelatos...yummy!!!



This was what we had for dinner when we were in Venice in Winter. Venice was so quite in winter, and if you dont feel like Pizza and Pasta, there aren't many other choices, apart from what we had!!!










Breakfast for 2 little piggies in Nice. 5 servings for 2 person? the waitress couldn't believe when we ordered the third item and she was ready to ring the till then...but....sorry madame another duex items please.


Fried baby squid in Dubrovnik. Mussels cooked in wine, and seafood Risotto. They are so cheap and the view was to kill for!!! cant complain!!! the risotto just soak up all the nice sauce...






and I only managed to stare at these desserts at Stockholm as it was too beautiful to be eaten !!!

Spring, roll-on spring!!!







Spring....officially started on 1 Sept in NZ, and this is what we are supposed to get...


But...


The rain doesn't want to go away, what can we do???



Spring...is the sign of new beginning...I love spring in London, I could spend all day walking around Hyde Park and Regents Park...oo la la...it is just sooo nice....look at the willow trees, the daffodils...

Bath First!!! no no..it's the place, not the action!!!



Bath was my first destination after arriving in London. The 90-minute train journey was beautiful. A small historical town, good for a day trip.




Bath is easy enough to walk-about, afterall, it is a world heritage site.


Pulteney Bridge is just beautiful. I reckon the best view is from the city Garden.

The Circus has lots of history to it, in addition to its architecture. I also went to the Royal Crescent, which has about 30 house over looking a huge park. I might just get there one day!! Maybe...(dream is free!!!)

The famous Sally Lunn Bun came from Bath, in fact, Sally Lunn lived in the oldest house in Bath, built in 1482 (wow, some 525 years, I wonder what was I doing at that time??)

Another place not to be missed is the Roman Bath, by the Abbey Church yard. They will even offer you a glass of thermal water at the end of the visit...try it, and let me know if you like the taste.
