Back in Brisbane and back at Cup. Undoubtedly the best coffee in the city. Great atmosphere too - hence the photo. 

Only problem is the short opening hours. Too little time…

Where in the world is Manuhuia?

So…I’ve been thinking about this for a while and am about to institute a new piece for my ‘Being in the World’ Tumblr blog. For those of you who have followed this blog of mine before you’d know that I tend to travel a lot and end up working in a lot of different cafes around the place (which is why this blog sometimes may feel like a Cafe blog…). 

The new piece will be called the ‘Where in the world is Manuhuia?’ section: 

I’ll post pictures in my red and white tee shirt around the world as I travel and let people try and guess where I am. I’ll try and take photos in distinctive areas to start and will get trickier as time progresses. 

Those of you in the know may recognize the distinctive red and white striped shirt. Unfortunately I will not be pairing the shirt up with the cane and beanie which generally accompanies the shirt in the ‘Where is Waldo’ series.

Seriously…finding a red and white striped shirt was difficult enough!! Trying to put a cane in my suitcase as I travelled just isn;t really practicable I’m sorry… 

So…I’ll leave this a week and see if anybody can put in the correct place where the photo was taken in the comments section down below. If not, I’ll put it up myself in a week! Good luck with the guessing.
