More Pics of New Zealand

So Valentines Day was 23 hours early for us in New Zealand.  We had been told this restaurant was very good.  We had a delightful dinner and are just about to have dessert.

A day or two later our bus broke down; fortunately it wasn't raining.  Everyone walked down the road a couple of miles to a pub (not much of one).  Since there were 44 of us the owner was overwhelmed.  A local woman came in for a drink and ended up acting as hostess.  A couple of hours later everyone had eaten and a new bus showed up.  It was a hoot and no one complained about the food.

Later that day we stopped at a Jade factory in a town on the west coast of South Island.  The factory was interesting, the beach was really nice, but the ice cream was awesome.
