The Hermitage – New Zealand
Took a couple of meals while I was here.
First night I went Á la Cárte.
For starts had the pork belly with crest and caramelised whatever.
Mains were a Hare roasted with a roast onion and a little bit of fricassee.
Downed a glass of wine as well.
Second night.
Went with the buffet.
Excellent choice of starters.
Some good rib eye for mains.
I stuck to the lasagna. On chef’s recommendation.

The Cook
Took about 7hrs and 2 Police encounters.
I’m here now.
I can feel safe now.
I am staying at [The Hermitage]. It has inclusive grades of rooms depending on the level of altitude and thus, dollar.
$460 was top dollar.
I was just in for a sleep.
Here’s a picture from my rooom.
Akaroa to Mount Cook
Rather than hanging round Aakaroa in the rain, I short cutted over to Highway 1 and made my way down to the next tourist destination – Mount Cook.
This is NZ’s highest mountain.
I’ve heard there are some great views from here.
Akaroa
This is a view over Barry’s Bay.
I visited Akaroa on the hope of getting some work done.
Having been and left, I can confirm this is a broadband free zone.
