It is Friday night at Rundle Street and the highest temperature today was 10 degrees Celsium. Almost Central European standard. The pubs are filled with worn out characters: mmmwwwwaaaa Paul, Donna, Brett who could not resist the smell of the pub. Others like Mary and Jess made sure their routine did not suffer ;-) Peter and his wife are invading the famous Argentinian for the best eye fillet steak in the world at Gouger place. We both wonder, me and Peter, why - why does not Sydney have Gouger Street Markets - the best Kaiser, Cabai, bread rolls from Jess's Mount Barker bakeries, cheese from Kangaroo Island, honey from all kinds of hilly spots: The Mediterean (sic) soups are to die for at the markets. I am informed that even Melbourne does not reach the level of variety in terms of freshest produce and the quality is beyond reproach ... Wonderful World Czech this out Adelaide is surrounded by fresh produce
PS: This must be the friendliest city on earth - it is also a place where cities compete with pubs on every corner - just amazing how many priests and publicans there are! I stayed in Adelaide for a few months in 1996 and nothing has changed there still is no such thing as smog in Adelaide ... Cross my heart! So get your act together Sydney you cannot give all your business to poor quality places like Macro or some other organically challenged places ...
