Being a Tourist in Sydney: Day 2 (Part 1)

Oh boy could you be fed up with Sydney by the time I've finished?  I've been out most of the day but have spent the rest of the time sorting photos.  I've decided that Harry's Pie Truck or Harry's Café de Wheels merits a post of its own simply because it's an iconic Sydney eatery down in Woolloomooloo (don't you just love the name?)  on the wharf where the navy vessels berth (and where we met lots of the navy guys and gals getting a pie after their watch).  The pie was good but the ambience and the photos of past customers were even better.  The location is on the map I posted on Day 1.

A familiar name to Americans I'm told.  I'd never heard of Colonel Sanders.

Those must have been the wild days - a suit on a night out.

My pie!

Raffles With Kate

One of my favourite cafés in Napier is Raffles Street Café. Apart from well-presented, tasty, good value food and coffee just to my taste, the ambience is friendly and relaxing and the welcome by the owner is second to none.

Unfortunately today the weather was not what one would desire when a friend was coming to visit from the Crystal Serenity, one of the most prestigous cruise liners afloat. So the pictures above are ones that I took some while ago on a sunny day.

So we escaped from the rain which has enveloped the entire Country today and had lunch at Raffles.

Lunch at The Cider Tree Café

I was taken out to lunch today: at The Cider tree Café in Meanee. Jayne (my original mentor in the art of Croquet) and her Sister , Hilary, over from England took me to lunch. It was a lovely meal in lovely company in a lovely location on a lovely sunny day. What more could one wish for.

India of Inchinnan

The morning after I stopped the night in Glasgow with John and Sue we went to the splendidly restored India of Inchinnan Grade A Listed Building for coffee. If you are ever in the area it really is worth calling in for coffee or lunch.
