Thanks for visiting! On the 4th January 2011, Sue and Rick will be setting off on a grown-up gap year to circumnavigate the globe in search of fantastic food. In this blog we aim to give you a taster of our top tastebud moments... and dietary disasters. We hope this blog inspires you to explore the foods of the world too.

Aukland

So, what do we think of  Aukland, having spent  a day and a half here?
 To be honest, not a lot!
 OK, the Sky Tower is impressive and gives the city it’s one unique landmark. After that, we’ve been scratching around to find a big wow factor here.
 (Maybe we’re just not big city people - although we loved Hong Kong, Sydney, Wellington......)
We did a self-guided walking tour of the city yesterday, and then escaped over the water by ferry to the North Shore, where we discovered the lovely “village” of Devonport - a quiet escape with views to the city across the water


Today Rick enjoyed a visit to the Maritime Museum, and we had a lovely lunch here overlooking the harbour - but we’re ready to leave now & looking forward to exploring Vancouver

    PLEASE CAN WE HAVE A NEW PROFILE PICTURE? Not that I didn't love the mauri sticky-outy-tongue shot but it's time you did something Canadian... and stopped scaring all the small children :)

    Actually we like scaring children, We call it getting a little respect.
    However if you insist try a dull panarama instead!
