Food so far

mmm well its been 3 days now and the food has been mixed. Over all great though.

The plane was a little disappointing, I normally love airplane food - those little containers of fun all waiting to be unwrapped! Sesame chicken and rice...quite nice. Ham and cheese wrap with chives for breakfast, not so nice...why I didn't go for the omelette I dont know! Ibby obviously agreed as she vomited it back up around 40 minutes after eating it - which was 2 minutes after we landed and as everyone else was rushing off the plane Ibby was vomiting into the motion sickness bag! We hoped this wa not an omen.

Undaunted we headed for the supermarket for essentials, by essentials I mean the things that you can't get here and if you cant recognise it, even better. So amoung other things, we got some grape fanta (nice), some chuchu - not too bad, some recheadinho - like fig rolls but with chocolate instead of the fruit - good(see dark photo above). And some other fruity thing to make up for it - I like a laf, not tried this yet:

Today for lunch we ate some fried chicken bits - not sure what part of the chicken they came from but most chunks had bones in and skin on and the man in the beach front juice bar didnt speak any english and the phrase book only gets you so far...probably best. Makes chicoland look like prime breast fillet.

This evening we ordered tuna koni - and as Suz mentioned we got a lot of raw tuna, which was actually delicious - we all liked it but the look of it for Suz was enough - she did eat the raw salmon sushi rolls though!

OK tomorrow - must eat safe food! No raw food, no dodgy bits of fried chicken from the beach shed! I was tempted by the man selling hot dogs out of the back of his car round the corner from out apartment but the kids said it looked to clean and not enough rusk...more culinary adventures to come...
