Saturday morning, 10th August, Phillip and I decided to check out the famers market before we headed down south to the Catlins. It was a fairly small market but it sold a variety of foods from different vegetables (2 of which Phil bought for dinner but hadn't a clue what they were or how to cook them), cheeses, meats, bakery, wines, jams, chutneys, pancakes, porridge....the whole lot! After a good browse and several free tastings (or not as the case may be - ...

Tuesday was a day of sorting, blogging and washing. In the afternoon some of the guys invited me to join them to explore Dunedin, so we jumped in the car and took a drive and went for a walk through the trees and got lost...we chilled in the hostel that night, everyone was pretty tired!

We said farewell to James who dropped us off at the start of the Caples Track and went on our way... The track was full of sup...

A week has flown by...how has it been a week already its crazy! So the Cinema was great - I went to see The Gatsby and had a yummy warm ginger and white chocolate cookie as recommended by a kiwi lady who was a regular at the cinema.
