Russel, Bay of Islands.

We headed North to an area called Bay of Islands where we booked an old cottage style hotel called The Duke of Marlborough. There we had the only dinner that really paid for it, let’s say that NZ’s cuisine is far from our first thoughts and very similar to UK. They use to ruin everything adding all kind of sauces and spices – like in Britain- but despite them here you can find really good meat, fish and vegetables.

The lamb shank we had was superb! But after that day we have been cooking our dinners almost every day

Look the slippers Mother Bunny bought me. Pure merino wool.
