It's Thursday afternoon, and I'm leaving Dunedin in a few hours, to return on Sunday. Rich, Cully, Danny, Ben and I are headed to Hokitika, with about 50% of the people we know here, for the 2008 Wild Foods Festival. It's about an eight hour drive, and we'll see how far we make it tonight before camping at a site along the road. The Festival is Saturday, and we'll be there a day early, so there should be plenty of time to explore the little city as well as hopefully check out the Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers along the way up the West Coast.
The festival is based around Wild and Exotic foods. Some of the things we're hoping to sample include: huhu grubs, fried cicadas, shark fin, many varieties of venison, whitebait, fish eyes, moonshine, seaweed smoothies, lambs' tails, Viagra slushies (!!), elderflower champagne, and other such atrocities and delicacies. Obviously very excited.
We should be back on Sunday, and I'll make sure to take lots of photos and update the blog following my return.
Au revoir, Sam
