Okay, one last post in my "I love Dunedin" series...

When I was planning my trip and reading accommodation and restaurant reviews on the web I came across a lot of reviews for Paasha Turkish Cafe for the best kebab, doner and falafel in Dunedin. I decided to go there for my dinner tonight. They have a thriving take-out business but they have a small restaurant section and I ate in. I had the Lamb Kofta Shish plate and it was delicious. Two beautifully seasoned and grilled lamb koftas with rice, tabbouleh and (strangely) a small bit of penne pasta salad. Ignoring the pasta salad as it didn't fit, the tabbouleh was fantastic with lots of parsley and finely grated red and white cabbage and celery. The plate came with fresh grilled Turkish bread and yogurt-mint sauce, chili sauce and a beautiful thick hummous. (Val G. - I apologize as I was so concentrating on the food that I can't even remember which sauvignon blanc I sampled.) It was one of the those simple delicious meals that you just don't want to end. But, alas, it did and I paid my bill and headed back to the hotel.

I was greeted upon my return by both of the resident pets which I consider to be an honoured end to my stay. Baron was in his best "I would kill you and rip your throat out if I wasn't so comfortable lying here on the front hall carpet thumping my tail" pose. And there's Molly in the background with the green headlights...

Here's Molly up close in all her loveliness. She apparently tolerates Rod while worshipping his wife Shelley...


And now to packing. Oh, I have to cook for myself for my time at the yoga retreat so I have no idea what I will write about. They do have two cats and a dog there though.
