Post-Holiday Blues
Saturday 23 January 2010 by Dr Maytel
We just arrived back in Canberra after the most wonderful holiday in New Zealand
Canberra is a 38 degree dust bowl, with no people, and nothing to do. It's all just bogans and bad food round here.
Although Australians tend to think themselves more sophisticated and cosmopolitan than New Zealand, when its a comparison between Auckland and Canberra, I'll take Auckland thanks.
Here are some photos that substantiate my overall sentiments right now.
cheap new zealand mussels and pipis around NZD 4 a kilogram
Plentiful fresh snapper which we caught ourselves in the snapper spawning grounds that are Auckland harbours
such as here
and here
Just check out those beautiful pink gills
Home-smoked kahawai
and kahawhai sashimi
and landing on deserted beaches
and cooking on our own beach
