A look
round Riverton in the morning was
rewarding- several nice vintage and junk
shops, an art gallery and another well
stocked and imaginatively run museum (Te
Hikoi).
We took
the minor scenic roads through the
Catlins, picnic lunch on route overlooking
a valley with dozens of whitebait fishing
huts along one of the rivers. Whtebait is
apparently the most expensive sefood in
New Zealand (according to Wikipedia), but
we missed out on trying whitebait
fritters.
Our bnb
was an entire bungalow with great sea
views. Only in our budget as it was very
unmodernised- all the furniture and
fittings untouched since the 1950's.
It was
clean and comfortable and the choice of
sitting with morning or afternoon sun.
