Thailand to Peru


We had a beautiful day in Sydney today, surprisingly mild - in fact warm in the sun.

I had lunch with Ae, Hn and Ba, the last having just returned from five weeks in South America and the USA. We had lunch at the Thai restaurant in Victoria Street just up from the hospital in Darlinghurst paying the ridiculously low price of $10 each for our four dishes and entree apparently charged the lunch time special rate although we had chosen dishes from the regular menu not from the specials.

Then it was back to Ba's for coffee and a computer slide show from Ba's trip including her stays in Lima, Cusco (pictured), Machu Picchu and the Galapagos Islands. I was rather taken with the images in Cusco, a place I had never heard about previously.

Ae is pressing ahead with plans for us (Hn and I) to do a South American trip next year.

  1. One regret we have about choosing to stay in College Street is that we won't be near the Victoria Street restaurants, especially Joes Cafe

  2. I love a bit of Thai food. Unfortunately Andrew's no good with spicy.

  3. Andrew - College and Victoria Streets are not that far apart.

    Evol - a few of our dishes were spicy; and delicious.
