NZ miscellany




Typical scene from our bus when it was time for the cows to come to the milking barn.

This is a NZ tree fern which grows very tall and very slowly. They are all over the north island and look a little prehistoric.

For the most part food was very good, interesting and varied. Kiwis love their fish and chips and potatoes mashed and fried. Kumara or sweet potatoes are served all over as well. Baked beans served at almost every breakfast along with broiled tomatoes and sautéed mushrooms. We also tried lots of delicious new fish. Pavlova is the national dessert, a cake of meringue and cream with fresh fruit.
