Well it’s been interesting so far. I bought up a heap of suitable food with the aim of cooking up a storm but predictably, I haven’t been home all week!

(Rest assured I have been having plenty of veggies!)

We spent the country in Wagga at a wedding and the challenge kicked off on sunday.

Sunday hotel breakfast was fine, I bought along some soy yogurt which I had with dry cereal, fruit and green tea. And black coffee. I had a killer hangover from the wedding the night before! My preferred hangover fare usually involves something of the bacon variety and lots of milky tea so it was a challenge.

We went to a Bill Kerr exhibition and to visit some ducks by the river. The local market was fun but i didn’t sample any of the wares…

Trying to find somewhere for lunch was a bit tricky. Usually with travelling I would bring stuff with me to eat but I didn’t have anything that would travel well in that kind of heat. We visited the local organic restaurant but they were sadly lacking in vegan options! They offered minestrone soup (it was 35 degrees so no thanks) or a green salad with the cheese taken out ($15, no thanks). So we ended up at the pub with bread and dip and steamed veggies.

I enjoyed quite a few beverages I must say. On the way home I was lucky to get some fresh fruit salad at the train station and I had some vegan crackers with vegemite and avocado when I got home. All in all, not a bad effort for the first day.
