I was awakened by a text from my bank in the US that our credit card had been defrauded… great. We took so many precautions in LA when paying for food. As you know in the US, restaurants take your credit cards for payment to process at their bulky terminals. Unfortunately, restaurants are notoriously known for skimming credit cards. In our case, we actually walked the card to the terminal ourselves so it never left our side… however, somehow, one of the two restaurants we ate at must have had a skimmer at one of the terminals. I suspect it happened at the Rose Venice restaurant (not at the Mexican restaurant). Their skimmer must have been really well hidden.
So, here I am on the phone with Chase Bank to cancel our credit cards (the fraudsters had made large purchases at the online Target store). Chase reversed the fraudulent amounts charged with our credit card. To Chase’s credit, they processed our replacement cards right away. They actually rushed our credit cards via DHL… and they did arrive quite fast (after our trip to the Tasman Peninsula). No complaints with how Chase managed the fraud incident.
More Relaxing Time. . .
Since the weather was still cold and rainy (but not as bad as the day before), we stayed home in the morning. Jessica was working but it was Alex’s day off. I watched an extract of the football game between France and Morocco (2-0). Then, Jim and I worked on our photos.
Jessica had made reservations the day before for a later lunch (1:00pm) at the Succulent restaurant at the Royal Tasmanian Gardens. An hour before our lunch reservation, we headed off to the Gardens.
Jess was able to sneak out from work (not a day off for her) and come with us to the Royal Botanical Gardens. Even with the drizzle and chilled air we still enjoyed the gardens.
The gardens are a great representation of all kinds of plants not just in Tasmania but in other countries, e.g., the Southwestern Desert of the United States. It would be great one day to come back and have a picnic lunch there on a sunny day. Next time!
We were certainly not disappointed with the menu at the Succulent and the restaurant certainly lives up to its reputation.

After lunch, we walked off the calories strolling in the gardens and drove back home. Later in the afternoon, we walked to downtown Moonah to buy wines, beer, and Cointreau… gotta have our priorities!
The rest of the day was spent quietly. Jess and I played some games on Stream more specifically a game called like Stray (a cat’s adventures looking for its home in a dystopian world… I know someone who would like this cat game! This cat behaves like a real cat!).
