Ok, so NZ has lovely mountains, superb beaches and friendly people. Sadly, that is not always enough. Some people have the need to be bounced on elastic till their backs stretch and their retinas fly off. The same people probably the desire to fly along the Shotover River in a stomach churning ride across the rapids in a Hamilton Jetboat. The previous night they will probably have been out on an organised bar crawl in Queenstown getting blasted by Jagerbombs.
Our agenda is a just a little more sedate and more selective. That is where Jimmy's Pies come in. There is a wee bakery in Roxburgh, between Alexandra and Dunedin, that makes the best meat pies ever! Bit surprised they do not call it a Pie-ery, but oh what a delight. The Assistant behind the counter was bright eyed, bushy tailed and wanted to chat. She has worked as a volunteer at Kaka Point, our destination, restoring Native Bush. She offered us a good selection of pies from the original Steak and Cheese to more exotic varieties. I had a Venison Pie with Berries, TW had a Veggie. We both followed up with Apple Pies.
Adrenalin rush and binge drinking? No, we'll take Jimmy's Pies any day!😎
