Monday I went to Caribe Latin Kitchen in the pedestrian mall which I’d spotted last week and thought looked interesting. A great mix of Mexican, Brazilian and other South American foods. They have a bunch of vegetarian and gluten free options. … Continue reading Queenstown – and more about food.
Monday was such a warm, still day that it seemed crazy to sit inside to eat. So I settled on going to the mall and getting sushi from the foodcourt. Then off to sit on the beach beside Lake Wakatipu. … Continue reading Queenstown – this week I have been mostly eating…
