February 12, 2016. Part 2

We found this lovely holiday park next to a lake popular among New Zealanders for fishing and water sports.  Each site has its private toilet and shower.  Really nice!  
 
It was still hot, so we went into a nearby town.  Our campervan is equipped with a tourist radio that tells us about the places we drive through.  Quite nice.  It also has commercials, and a winery nearby had been advertised, so we decided to go there.

We sat outside in the shade and enjoyed one of their Pinot Noirs.  It is also a salmon fishing place with salmon and trout farms.  You can catch a salmon and they will smoke it for you.  Unfortunately, due to the unusual heat wave, the pond water was too hot as the salmon were on the bottom cooling off.   We bought a fillet from them and a package of smoked salmon.  We watched the owner feed the trout.


Back at the holiday park, George grilled the salmon on the BBQ.

 The commercial kitchen is very nice.   I put all our refrigerated goods in the refrigerator, since our little cooler struggles in this heat.  I froze some water bottles to put in the cooler tomorrow.  The kitchen was full of people cooking and washing dishes.  Everyone was curious about us, and chatted us up.   Most of the campers are local, just spending the weekend by the lake.  

DINNER:  Grilled salmon.  Side was rice and a salad made with cucumbers in Greek yogurt.
