We did not have a Wednesday, July 24 this year. It takes close to twenty hours to fly to Australia from Denver. We broke this up into three legs, with a short flight to LA, a long flight to Auckland, and a shortish flight to Sydney. We left on Tuesday night and arrived in Australia on Thursday thanks to the International Date Line. It’s very unclear what happened to Wednesday.
Our first day in Australia was really focused on food. Not that the food was bad on Air New Zealand, but I think not having a Wednesday made us really hungry. We’ve heard a lot about Australian snacks, including from the Melbourne guy we met on the airport shuttle at DIA, so it became crucial to get a huge haul of snacks to mukbang. This included rasberry bullets, hobnobs, shapes, vegemite, Australian licorice, bhuja, and both tasty and extra tasty cheese (whatever that means).
Tim Tams were the best. Tim Tams are described on Wikipedia as “two malted biscuits separated by a light hard chocolate cream filling and coated in a thin layer of textured chocolate.” But the Wikipedia page for crack cocaine seems to be more accurate: “Effects include euphoria, supreme confidence, insomnia, alertness, and a craving for more.” A Tim Tam is 1/20th of your daily suggested kilojoules. Dinah had five of them today. Kilojoule math is almost as hard as date line math for us, but I’m pretty sure your daily allowance shouldn’t come from Tim Tams alone.

| Why would you settle for just tasty cheese? |

| Great on toast, not sure I’d make a sandwich out of this though |

| Some snacks are better than others |

| The view from our apartment in Sydney is as good as the snacks |
