Well we arrived in Masterton to visit Allison's Uncle Eddie and Jude. Masterton is a really nice town, surrounded by farmland and mountains. It was good to get a taste of real Kiwi life, as on our first day there we were welcomed with a few cold beers and a barbie, which most Kiwi's live on. They like their meat!
My uncle has his own courier's business, so we followed him on his daily postie run, which is all really picturesque. Even though it was supposed to be a town delivery run it was still very rural. It's unbelievable how much land every house in New Zealand comes with. Most houses can probably fit a swimming pool in their back garden with plenty of room to spare!
That evening we were taken to my uncle's local Indian restaurant for a good ruby. We haven't been able to eat food like this since we were back in England. Finally on our last night we joined my uncle on his Friday night pub crawl for a few Tui's, Mac's Export Gold's and Speights, which are all good Kiwi beers, and to meet a few of his mates, including the Scottish gigolo (well escort, all the same thing), who told us we were both a bit of alright, even though he weren't gay! Rich was definitely more cautious in the toilet that night.
