Eggs Benedict at Qantas First Lounge
I love starting my overseas trips in the Qantas First Lounge, and I don't mind skipping breakfast at home in favour of the Eggs Benedict here too! I'm heading over to Switzerland and Austria for a couple of weeks to do some product education with SCHILLER, I'm also spending a few days hanging out with an old mate in Basel. Should be a fun couple of weeks!

Pulled Pork Burger
Pulled Pork never looks pretty, but damn that was an awesome burger at the Fire Station Hotel in Wallsend!

Newcastle Harbour Sunset
Lazing around waiting to pick Catherine up, snapped this photo of the late afternoon sun beaming down toward this rower on the Hunter River, or Newcastle Harbour if you prefer.

Hair cut for Travis
He actually does like his haircut despite the look on his face... It was his first time at a proper barbershop, no more Just Cuts for Travis.

Qantas Club Breakfast
Late breakfast in the Qantas Club at Melbourne Domestic Airport. Very happy to be heading home today, it's been a busy few days in Melbourne.

Caesar Salad
One of my favourite hotel room service tests is to order a Caesar Salad... Here's what I had tonight at the Novotel on Little Collins, a decent Caesar Salad, loads of croutons, parmesan, and bacon bits, but no poached egg on top which was a little disappointing. Not the best, but far from the worst one I've had.

Room Service at Novotel
Tonight, for dinner at the Novotel on Little Collins, I'm having Pizza Garlic Bread, and a very tasty Twice Cooked Pork Belly with Fennel Salad!


Charcuterie Plate
Nice selection of cheeses and things in the Brisbane Qantas Club tonight, having a quick bite before jumping on a flight back to Newcastle.

Qantas Club Bacon & Eggs
Bacon & Eggs for breakfast in the Qantas Club this morning, I'm heading to Brisbane for the day.

Lunch at Bocados Spanish Kitchen
Out for lunch with Catherine for our wedding anniversary, it's a beer and tapas kind of afternoon at Bocados Spanish Kitchen. Yum!






Pho
Finally got around to making Pho at home, and I might be a bit biased here, but damn that was tasty! Can't understand why I've waited so long to make my own, it was so quick and easy to make.

Full recipe coming soon!
Nearly Home
I was going to work on the train on the way home from Sydney, but have been spending all my time staring out the window listening to music. Oh well.

Hot Dogs
Hot Dogs have become a staple for Travis while we've been staying at The Outrigger Resort, here in Fiji. Gotta ween him off them when we get home!

Breakfast Buffet at The Outrigger Resort
The breakfast buffet here at The Outrigger Resort is pretty good!

Rainbow in Fiji
A little South Pacific squall came through just now, hard rain and a strong breeze for about 30 minutes, but in it's wake we get this beautiful rainbow!

Pinky on the drinky!
Pinky is our family friends' travel companion, and Pinky approves of the mojito!
