1 Month

1st November was our 1 month away mark. We ended up staying in Queenstown for Halloween but it turned out to be very disappointing because the hundreds of working visa 'teenagers' take over and get drunk. It made us feel old!!

We left there and headed across to the east coast and for ended up in a beautiful fishing village called Moeraki.

The weather is beautiful and best of all it has a great restaurant called Fleurs.

Fleur is a famous restaurateur in NZ and we had great food and wine there last night. I tried a local speciality - a Muttonbird, basically a seabird. Well its an acquired taste. Its meat it like puffin but it has a layer of fat just below the skin which is not nice, yak!!!! But I ate it and had juice all over the place as you have to eat it with your hands.

We have decided to stay for here tonight because the weather is so nice and go to see the penguins and Moeraki Boulders.
