Who Ate All the Pies....
I / we did!
For those who haven't been to NZ mention must be made of the food. The supermarkets do pick and mix dried fruit and at the start we were healthy with rice snacks, dried pineapple, banana, apple, soya bits etc. But as we spent more time on the bus we were eating less fresh friut or our dried snacks and more pies. Every morning stop seemed to have a shop with a hot cabinet of pies.. steak, curried steak, chicken, venison, beef, mince, seafood .. just a few of those we tried. Pies were great, only to be surpassed by .... icecream.
Icecream...... As we travlled further south they tended to get cheaper and approx 60p for what we would call a double scoop was irrestistable. My favourite was Hocley Pokey - sort of vanilla with caramel bits in it, but it has now been over taken by Banoffee flavoured ice cream.
Needless to say I have put on weight this holiday.
