Qingdao- Day 3 (Thursday)

We slept through breakfast, well, actually we could have thrown clothes on and made it, but the coffee was so bad the previous day, we said, screw it, we will find a cafe somewhere.

We needed coffee, well, Bill in particular

After our coffees Bill perked up quite a bit.  We wandered down to the waterfront by a different path and found a restaurant alley featuring seafood.  As a port town it makes total sense that seafood would be featured in virtually every restaurant we have entered. 

Bill is tiring of "Chinese" food, but recognizes that he has been surprised at things that he thought would not be exciting for him to eat, but then has been pleasantly happy!

As we can see, he is much "Perkier" than before!

Today's wander was on the other side of the bay than Tuesday's.  Instead of looking west, we now are looking east into the harbor.




In previous days, I have taken a photo of this from across the harbor.

Dinner tonight was at 96 Barbecue, which is a local bar/rests on the main drag from which our alley cuts off.  There were full tables all over the place, with lots of different combinations of people.  There were 2 guys playing drinking games, a version of rock, paper, scissors where loser has to drink and eat something on the table.  While I watched, one guy kept losing and when he got up to use the bathroom, the other guy was quickly gobbling up all sorts of stuff form the table to soak up the alcohol.

We ordered streaky pork, eggplant, Australian beef, dumplings and 2 beers.  Bill had order potatoes, but they never made it on to the tab.
This is the pork

This is the "dumplings"

Sadly,I don't have a shot of the beef which was over enoki mushrooms
