Some random things

Some stuff I don't remember where they happened, so I will just add them on as I remember things.

One time, we were driving along in the middle of nowhere, when we saw a bright sign for a pub. We followed it and it was like a shed in the middle of nowhere! It was great. A proper little pub, with a big fire and wooden benches and lots of locals. They also brew their own beer and do lots of other fun things, like gigs and stuff, so we tasted their ales and cider. Very nice!

I also had a pavlova!

NZ apparently invented the pavlova and they fight over it with Australia, because they say they invented it. Anyway, the pavlova here is different to the one at home, it's like a whole cake! And really tall and smooth. So they serve it in slices and with cream and fruit on the top. It's so yummy, as it's really fluffy on the inside, so it feels like you're eating bath foam or something. So good!

We also managed to stay in a pretty annoying camp site at one point. It was next to a massive flyover and they directed us to our spot, which was miles away from everything. It was pitch black and we saw this hut, that housed the kitchen and the bathrooms, but they were all locked! We drove all over the place until we found a better spot right by the dump point!
