well this day was a bit of an adventure!! We picked up our van from Escape rentals, selected an older Toyota over a new Nissan, better mpg & automatic trans. Headed out of town, after our 3rd stop to sight see, Scott couldn't get the key to turn in the ignition... I played w/ it & got it started... We drove up the road to a store to buy Hokey Pokey ice cream, most popular ice cream flavor in NZ. We again could not start van...key comes out full of grease....hmmm...long story made short, we make a call & agree to meet rental lady 1/2 way back to Auckland. (1h maybe)....to switch out & get a new van.... We parted by saying, " don't turn the ignition off!!" she, " I'm SO sorry" ... Oh wells!!!
We stopped at the Pak n' Save to get some groceries....interesting....
Fish counter @ the cheapo grocery store looked amazing!! Above are Green Lipped Mussels. Scott promises me we'll dive for some while here.
Above whole Red Snapper! ( not seen @ Hannaford- EVER!!!)
Scott found a beer named after him...
& Sarah, Lindt chocolate has made it to NZ too!!
We're set up for our first night of FREE camping, next to a stream Scott will fly fish in the a.m.
& hopefully catch us some dinner for tomorrow night! ( did I tell you I love this country yet!!)
A bit of fishing pre 6 PM bed time!!! We are wiped!!
