The Venison pie from the bakery in Arrowtown (full of gristle, yuk)! Lets get this right, not the cafe/bakery in the middle of the High Street, I'm talking about the Pie Shop at the top of the High Street. How dare they call themselves gourmet..... Total rubbish. Do not go there. I mean I bit into the pie and the whole content bit back as a massive piece of gristle. How could any chef put that into a pie and call himself gourmet ?? Bums on seat methinks, passing trade..... This rant was brought to you by Timmy! Now he's got that off his chest (!), other least memorable points included...Invercargill. The "art deco" town on the way to Queenstown, so not worth the effort! The crossing from the south island to the north island (lumpy is an understatement, but luckily - unlike our friends the Nobles - we weren't asked to strap ourselves in!). Sandflies at, guess where, Sandfly Point. So small they're almost invisible but OUCH - they really can bite! Air New Zealand - the engines wouldn't start on 2 of our long journeys (not what you want to hear!), service was adequate but uninspiring.....Any products made by Watties (they're the equivalent of Heinz but they fill everything - from Rice Pudding to Baked Beans - with half a dozen teaspoons of sugar!). The chair lift to the top of the mountain at Queenstown - vertical up a cliffside - what made us do it??? Hot Water Beach was a big shame - the tide wasn't going out sufficiently when we were there so we didn't get to dig a big hole in the sand & sit in volcanic hot water! DOH! Ah well, maybe next time ;0)
Oh, and the rain.
