Kiwi wanderings

Andrew and I recently spent a week in New Zealand. Four days catching up with family in W(h)anganui and three days exploring Wellington. It's been over thirty years since I moved to Australia and I think it's the most sensible thing I ever did. Nevertheless, the rest of my family still live there so, from time to time, we pop over and say g'day! As always, the trip featured much food. And coffeeeeeeee.

Local cheeses and quince paste purchased

from the riverside markets in Wanganui

Chickpea curry at a restaurant in Wanganui (I won't

mention which one as it's due to shut down shortly)

Roti and dal at Roti Chenai in Wellington

Singapore-style coffee from a kopi tiam in Wellington!

'Kiwi hot' curries at Curry Heaven ... nom nom

Inedible but adorable ... a tuatara at Zealandia wildlife sanctuary

Au revoir, New Zealand. See you next time.
