Treviso is a charming city of 80,000. They like to think og themselves as a little Venice. Luckily the real Venice is just down the highway so Treviso misses out on the mass tourist trade and is still authentic. Still there are two Trevisos. The rail line delineates the divide. I was staying on the wrong side of the tracks
Everyone on the Veneto Plains rides pushbikes.

Spirit House Cooking Class
My son and I attended a cooking class at The Spirit House in the small country town of Yandina, 100 km north of Brisbane last night. We were instructed by the head chef of this renowned Thai Restaurant. We helped prepare and then cook these fantastic dishes.
Thai Fish Cakes with Spicy Cumcumber Relish.
Seafood & Green Pawpaw Salad with Hot and Sour Dressing
Penang Chicken Curry with Caramelised Pumpkin.
We also made Stir Fry Pork with Thai Basil and Chillies.
And then we ate them.
Many hands make light work of Thai food - old Thai saying.
