O'Neills Irish Pub

Pretty tasty chicken burger at O'Neills Irish Pub, so far the nicest burger I've had in all my visits to Basel.

How tired do I look! Ouch!

Gin & Tonic

G&T and some cashews, nice way to start a 9+ hour flight. Thanks @cathaypacific!

Aurora Spa

One of the perks of travelling so much, getting to spend some relaxing time at Aurora Spa in the Qantas First Lounge before having to spend 24 hours or so in a tin can.

Qantas Club Timelapse

Shooting time lapse videos, plenty of time on my hand at the airport.

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!

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.

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.
