I should have known better with Australian variants, nothing is what it seems, did Rootes build in Aus, or was it ckd assembly? About the first I cannot remember, it was 23 years ago, when I had been there. And it was a cheap 3*-hotel, so nothing with High End-delicacies there. About the Down Under-ish Rootes crap maybe it's something to find, here our Aussie-Minxes. -- Last edit: 2016-11-05 17:55:23 (dsl)

Our first trip was in 1972, we flew both ways on a Bristol Britannia. The bric, or brique, is not high end, it's a pancake with a boiled egg, or sardine or chicken filling, delicious as a snack and quite cheap. We were in a 5* last time, and the bric was about 7 dinars on the lunch menu. Unfortunately, it's going to take some political changes before we dare return, hence the Rhine cruise this year. -- Last edit: 2016-11-05 14:47:48
