Blue Skies Galore!


I skipped down to Quay Street to look at the harbor and rounded to the other adjacent streets. Well, not that I'm interested in ferries and ships, but it just feels good to stride along the street in good weather. It was storming the night I got into Auckland. But the morning was bright and hot. Am thankful today is the same. It'll be very drab if it's all grey and wet.

Food is really not a priority on this trip. At least not for breakfast and lunch. I've been working through most meals. Lunches are often hearty salads or a thick slab of barramundi that I can't quite finish. All these different time zones. SIGH. Looking at my schedule today, I decided that a slice of toast or something would be very helpful to keep the energy going through the day.

Breakfast consisted of a piece of pain au chocolat and a lovely cup of flat white. It was taken at a random cafe along the street where it seemed as though every office drone stopped by. I stood on the street to observe a couple of cafes and picked one which I assumed to be brainlessly decent. It turned out all right.

How are you going to cope with the flat white issue at your next destination?

i will figure it out. i'll live with black coffee as long as it isn't too crappy. i understand that their city's coffee is pretty good and thick, like another version of vietnamese coffee. i want to try!
