. Can confirm, Kaitaia is a hole.
Why so complimentary?
Wasn't worth the time to denounce it more.
@taniwharugby tomorrow is the wife's birthday but available over the weekend for a catch up (or at this rate, most of next week).
Any recommendations for a place in Whangarei for a birthday dinner? Somewhere with adequate vegetarian options would be useful...
-
@Godder hmmm, I'll have to think, vege option not something I think about, and i dont know any vegetarians
There is a good little shop in Kamo called Raw Cakes that does a great range of gluten and sugar free stuff as well, along with coffee roasted in Kerikeri.
edit - phoned a friend, The Quay down by the basin apparently has a good vegetarian menu, and a good spot too.
There is a good Thai restaurant in Kensington, who used to operate in Christchurch but bailed on the earthquakes and run a very successful restaurant up here now
-
@Godder oh, I can come in on the weekend for a coffee/beer, no plans this weekend.
With the Quay, there is another restaurant right next door, No. 8 (owned by same people) which is quite good too, they have a farm locally where they grow most of thier produce for these 2, plus one restaurant they have in Waipu and a cafe in Mangawhai

Suk Jai? Been there - agree authentic.

Thanks for the recommendations everyone, much appreciated. She says it was a good birthday, so it was worth the effort. I even got her a cake...
@taniwharugby I'm probably on better terms with coffee than beer - any suggestions for a cafe, and day/time?

@taniwharugby sooo... bottom of the screen towards the right...what's that? 😳

@Bones that was just a test clip of a parking bollard in an empty carpark.
Nice "parking bollard"...

@Bones you would know, it was there when you had a beer that time!
Did I sit on it?

Weird stuff as our flight home got cancelled, but we ended up booking a flight that left 30 minutes earlier... On the plus side, it's a dreamliner, so we forked out the extra $50 each to fly business class (no food because level 3, but we thought we'd see what it's like).
No available Air NZ flights out of Whangarei till the 27th, so hopefully we can drive into Auckland Airport to catch the flight home and don't get turned around. Booked flexi just in case... Plan B is to book Sun air to Hamilton and get a rental car from there to somewhere with flights to Christchurch, or just drive all the way home. If that doesn't work, I guess we're stuck here till we can get a flight home, so probably after Auckland gets out of level 3.

I'm flying from PN to Auckland on the 27th, connecting to Sydney flight. I'm absolutely shitting myself that my domestic flight will get cancelled meaning I miss the Sydney flight.
To the point I'm contemplating driving the 6hrs to Auckland.
