Hello.

My husband and I left our lives in Sydney to go travelling for the rest of 2016. What started as a one month honeymoon has turned into a four month adventure.

Day 2: We've Already Eaten Too Much

Day 2: We've Already Eaten Too Much

In exciting news, I think we've beaten jet lag. You can all relax.

In other news, we ate too much today. It started off all civilised at the KazuNori in DTLA with freshly made hand rolls. It's the sister store to the super delicious Sugar Fish, and was definitely worth the short wait. Then we went wandering around Grand Central Market (why don't we have one of these in Sydney?!) and grabbed some natural Californian wine from Bar Maruno. I wish I were more hungry because Eggslut and Belcampo were calling my name.

Then it was happy hour at Kettle Black, a new spot in Silver Lake which was an old bank turned modern Italian restaurant. Two $8 negronis and a meatball sub later, we were off to meet Trey and Susan again for King Taco. Thank goodness we are hiking Runyon tomorrow, I feel my belly expanding already.

Things I learnt today:

  • Do not drink the tap water (apparently). Although I've done some research and it turns out it's totally safe.
  • Lyft (an alternative to Uber) is crazy cheap.
