So after a fantastic time in The New River Bluegum B&B it was time to head down the coast. We stopped in at the Bushmans Centre in Pukekura and that is an experience to have. Pete and Justine were off in their helecopter to the memorial service and the place was in the very capable hands of Katie, Justines daughter. She proudly told me they run the whole town just the three of them. Including the pub.
The centre is a cafe that doesn't serve espresso because with the three of them and buses coming through it is impossible to manage that kind of coffee making. I get the impression that if you pressed the point you may end up with a short sharp shift. The possum pies were free as long as you donated to the anti 1080 cause by $4.00 (it is illegal to comercially sell possum). The museum was a treat and I was well and truely got by the kids and the hard to see possum.
We made it into Franz Josef just after one and went up to the Glacier for a look. We took a short walk and then back to the Top Ten Holiday park for a spa and to settle in. Thanks for having us!
The boys wanted to go swimming in the coldest water in New Zealand and so with Matthew went back to the Glacier while Ruby and I chilled out and then went to the Pub for dinner.
Girly time out was just what was in order. After spending alot of time trying to explain to Ruby that the Pokies were not in fact great kids games and she could not play, we had a great meal and back home to bed. The boys returned later with takeaways and another day is done.
