a taste of britain

g'day!



we managed to leave mosman today! we went on 2 ferrys, 3 buses and 4 trains - making good use of our weekly ticket!! we adventured to bondi junction to find that the kfc there (which we only discovered last weekend) has now shut down! words cant describe how upset we were. almost as upset as we were when we found that no one over here even knows what Pasoa is, never mind sells it! (pasoa is a fruity alcholic drink incase you were wondering)



anyhoo, we ventured to bondi beach to find some lunch, went to a place called Oporto. It seems to bepretty popular over here so we decided to give it a shot rather than diving straight to maccy dee's or hungry jacks (oz version of burger king) We bought our meal, served by 'Raoul', unfortunatly it was a different Raoul than the ones in the IrnBru ads! We went and sat on the grassy area to eat our meal, only to discover that Oporto could quite possibly be the worst slowest, fast food place known to man. Severly disapointed, we headed down to the beach only to catch about 20 mins of sun before it clouded over. So we went shopping instead! (i'd like to add here that me -eva- bought new flip flops before we got lunch)



the bus back to bondi junction was crowded but we still managed to fight our way to seats. Knowing there was a chance of going out to dinner tomorrow (sat) we went to buy smarter clothes seeing as neither of us brought any thing that wasnt made for the beach. I bought a rather lovely dress and almost a pair of heels, exept they never had my size in.Stu however, did manage to get new shoes which are extreeeeemly comfy he tells me.



Then it happened...



Stuart bought the first hat for his hat collection!



As well as buying new clothes, we came close to buying a puppy! We managed to resist the temptation, but you should have seen their cute little faces!!



Before getting the train back to town we made a stop at our new favorite shop, 'A Taste Of Britain' which has all the foods that they dont sell here, but you miss most from back home, eg. bisto gravy and proper choclate. We then came home, tucked into some pasta and gravy, and watched Alexander.

All in all, a pretty decent day!
