We’ve covered how to cool yourself off, so now we’re presenting a delicious way to warm back up again—by having a nice and juicy meat pie. There were pie stores on almost every corner, ready to warm you up inside and out. We were there during the month of November, which is their springtime, and it was mostly mild and breezy during the day. But anytime there was rain, you’ll definitely want to grab your jacket, as well as a warm meat pie. We recommend Patrick’s Pies Gold Star Bakery—our favourites are the steak & cheese or the mince & cheese pies.
We travelled with Littlebrownkiwi, which specialises in organising educational adventures for international schools. They were a great help because they were able to take care of everything and get us VIP access into this natural wonderland. The guides were also expert hikers, equipped with everything we needed, and kept us well-fed every day. Their passion for what they do was palpable and really enhanced the whole experience.
