then i drove to the nice dorothy falls near hokitika on the kaniere lake to do some cleaning after 3 days of no showers. i saw also one kiwi here.
this area is known for the jade art. this city is also known for their wildfoosfestival on march every year. http://www.wildfoods.co.nz/
perhaps we can do such a wildfooddinner at the ennsfest 07?
just think about some new receipts.
