Last days in Dunedin

I didn't know that one of the culinary delights of NZ are cheese sandwiches - yes a rolled sandwich which is then toasted!!  Pies and fish and chips are also very popular!  How weird.  They do have very good bacon, fish etc too.  Cakes are good, a sort of slice made of a biscuit type base with all different toppings like ginger/ lemon- Mmmmm!  I'm not finding the beer to my liking too much although a stout from Invercargill was quite good.  Most of the beer is lager style but with less flavour than good Belgian or German beers.  Don't feel too sorry for me though the wine is amazing!!!!
The last few days here have been chilled apart from another less than convincing performance by the England team.  Although to be fair, Georgia played well.  The lesser teams in the RWC seem to be doing well which is good to see.  WE have watched a lot of the other games on TV in the pub. I actually caught sight of Stuart Barnes in the front seat of a car being driven to the stadium on Sunday.  He is commentating for NZ Sky.
Before the match we went for a walk on the beaches of Aramoana - beautiful sand.  It has a sad history for such a beautiful place being the sight of NZ'z worst serial killing.  A local recluse aged 33 killed 13 from his community in 1990 aged from 6-72.
