05 March 2009, Te Anau, New Zealand
Always good to see old friends and break bread together, but even better to do it while sharing a New Zealand adventure!
After the Kepler Track, we were quite tired and checked onto our room at the YHA. To our pleasant surprise, we were assigned to a small house complete with kitchen, grill, deck, and facilities. Only one other couple was sharing the other bedroom. Much better than the normal "shared facilities" in many places we stay. I awakened to see 2 faces peering in at me. Who is it, our roommates? Why are they so impolite? Their voices sounded familiar, and then I realised it was a relatively unexpected visit from Karin and Katharina, our friends from years ago when we all lived in Shanghai!!
Off we rushed to the food store to get supplies, and then a feast was prepared. Pat grilled veggies and a large salad was prepared. Dinner was accompanied by fine New Zealand Wine and lots of stories.
Here is Pat cooking -

It's a Rain Forest!!
