Wild Wednesdays

By 5 p.m.,Waihi is a ghost town. Shops and restaurants close down and Jen and I are left wondering where the heck everyone went.
It seems, that unlike Americans, Kiwis enjoy spending time in their homes. Wednesdays have become a big deal for us. It's the night when a few shops extend their hours and Jen and I can spend a little time in town after dark.
After a day of bike riding, we settled at one of our favorite cafes, which is also a pizzeria. (They like to combine everything here). There were a few people out for dinner, but not a large group. I think things will start to pick up once the Rugby World Cup starts on Friday. I will be heading to the Rugby Hall to catch the first game of the tournament, New Zealand vs. Tonga.

Discovered a New Zealand favorite. It's called Hokey Pokey ice cream. It's vanilla with toffee chunks. It's very smooth and very good.

As usual, here are a few photos:
