The Mists of Time

Because it is so hot here, and the outdoor restaurants want people to patronize their establishments, they have come up with a great idea. The large roof covers all have a network of hose with attached nozzles which spray a very fine mist over the diners.  You can't really feel it but it cools the air and the people.  I stood directly under one of the nozzles last night, and it didn't even make my hair wet, but the effect was excellent - very cool.
If you look carefully you can see the mist in this photo. We were there around 6.30pm which is too early for the locals - they arrive at 8ish.
We had a couple of interesting cocktails here, one made with mint and strawberries and the other with basil and lemon - very delicious.  The tapas was prawns and olives.
 The hotel I am staying in has an  interesting choice of music - it is 7.30am and they are playing - "Ï've got you under my Skin" and similar songs by some generic American woman!

    Am going out to dine in Geraldton tomorrow night woohoo with people from Qld who are the bosses of the flexi learning centre. Should be a treat but am not expecting the cuisine you are tasting. When I was in Niemes (in FRANCE lol) they had those mist things going in outdoor restaurants too. Very interesting concept indeed.
