Our lunch - roast chicken quarter and some sort of tabbouleh cous cous salad from New World supermarket
In the afternoon, we went back to Whakapapa Village to see if there was a chance to do the Tongariro Crossing (that's how enthusiastic our friends were...), but it was still raining up there lah, even though the weather at Ohakune was good. So, after the to-ing and fro-ing, in the end we went back to our accom at Haven Lodge.
Our room with a 2.5ft bed and a pull-out sofa bed...
...which looks out into the kitchen also... so we can conveniently watch the water boiling, eh? ;)
The SO went out to find wooden planks, newspapers, etc. to make a door and cover up the bar counter hole, as we were doing some stir-frying for dinner and didn't want all that garlic fumes to come into our room.
Shared dinner for the night - cabbage, egg and noodles, plus instant mushroom soup (not shown)...cooked by moi
Outside of the cottage, there are some interesting plants.
White and maroon tulips
??
? but this plant is quite common in NZ
Some kind of shrub

Did you try the mutton in NZ? They should be very delicious.
I am going to have Bangladesh mutton for the next few days liao. Yummy. But I dread the thought of flying there again......
Having heard so much about the lamb in NZ, we decided to steal a small slice from our friend's lunch of roast lamb to try. It had quite a strong smell, altho' our friend said it's nice...so there! :)
It's great for the accomodation to come with a kitchen.
yummy fresh home cooked meal.
and your must be having good appetite with the fresh air and moving about.
Many motels there have family rooms that come with a kitchenette, and even some double rooms too. It's a good and necessary facility as the cost of eating out is one thing, the other is that some smaller towns are very quiet and may not have places to eat out at in the evenings.
Yeah, the SO and I ate a lot... no diet control while on holiday! :)
