We are now off to see the mountains, glaciers, rain forests, and pancake rocks of NZ on a “hop on/off” backpackers bus, hoping to eventually find the Deaf-owned brewery in Dunedin.

Feeling bold to taste something new?
After a week that whizzed by in Christchurch, it was time for us to be on our way to explore the rest of New Zealand. We were surprised and touched that the friends we had made wanted to throw us a farewell BBQ party. Many people we met from The Canterbury Deaf Club, DANZ (Deaf Association of NZ), Van Asch Education Centre, and in the community came together to see the expression of two Americans eating Marmite and Vegamite! It’s made of yeast, sugar and salt and tastes like a soy sauce sandwich. Every New Zealander has Vegamite at home, and this is what kids pack for lunch instead of peanut butter and jelly. If you’re curious (and brave), you can try to find a bottle of this stuff at your local grocery store. Email and let us know what you think =)

Hey David and Christy: I actually think I have heard of Vegamite. Thought there were veggies in it. Guess not! Glad to see you eating (only a mom could say that!)
Hugs and Love to Both.

if you remember we had Vegamite at The Lost Forest.
It was salty and awful.
I'll take peanut butter

So glad to see and hear that you are having a wonderful time in NZ. It looks beautiful there. I love the Bus idea what a great way to see the country. Let someone else drive (on the left side of the street).
