Friday

Sue finished her conference business about 3 pm.  I made a booking for dinner at the Griffins pub, just a few metres away from the hotel.  They start serving at 5:30, which is still quite late (8 pm) if you're trying to stay on New Zealand time.  It is quite unusual to find a time zone where the hours strike 30 minutes off the rest of the world.  Fish and chips, barramundi and salad, and two large cold beers went down nicely.
