Marilyn and Chris took us to Townsville's wonderful market today, with stalls full of local produce and handcrafted goods. We learned about pig cheeks (apparently the part of the pig we call bacon); we devoured miniature bananas, sampled achacha, admired the dragonfruit and purchased some fun, distinctly Australian gifts. We ended, as seems to have become a happy habit traveling with Marilyn and Chris, with morning tea at noon (savory platter with salmon tart, spinach frittata, cucumber finger sandwich and more, complete with delicious tea). Yum once again. And fun.
Join us as we head down under to Australia and New Zealand, a part of the world completely new to us but inhabited for a long, long time. Our blog address is ozandkiwi2013 because Australia is sometimes called "Oz" and the New Zealand people are affectionately called "Kiwis" for the bird very common in that country. Both countries have very rich histories and cultures; we want to share as much adventure as we can with our young grandchildren and other friends and family!
