Up and away from the restful Arias Farm. We hit the Fat Dog which has changed hands a couple of times since its beginnings but still serves great food and coffee. We did our thing there helped by James the manager on the day. We really wanted to go to Rhubarb in Putaruru but were thwarted by Monday closing. We had however heard of the Kaimai Cafe and Store which turned out to be a pleasurable and yet not thinning visit. Most things on the menu utilise the cheese made on sight, yes sight as you can look through some large windows and watch the local boys doing their stuff. Lizanne was an informative and fun person to engage with over the history etc of the place and she has that great manager quality of doing the crap jobs along side the staff. I like that.
On to stay with family in Auckland after a visit to our home to drop off some things and do some work. The next part of the journey begins.
