We had high tea at the Queen Victoria Building (QVB), a nice shopping complex in a historic Victorian building down town.
What is high tea? Well, technically, tea is a meal. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_(meal)#High_tea) Ie, in Australia, breakfast is sometimes called morning tea. (Also 'brekkie')
I really don't know what definitions apply but what we had was basically sandwiches, desserts and scones with cream and jam. And tea. At 3pm. Nice. Lovely. Leisurely. Except the QVB tea room was trying to shoo us out because they were doing prep for some event, probably a wedding that evening.
We finished off the evening walking about and ending up in a hotel pub with Angie and Glendon for fish and chips, more chips, nachos and a pint or two.
