Not a big story but a big lip.

11 november 2017 - Punakaiki, Nieuw-Zeeland

After the kayaking we had to drive vour ours. Now we were driving along the East Coast which are familair for their nice views on the way: THE GREAT COAST ROAD.
We were really enjoying those views. ROAD TRIP HOLIDAY!! YEAH! So we came past WESTPORT and we wanted to do a short walk. Well actually Simone wants to do one between al the driving. I was also happy just to drive. Good that she is here with me because it was beautifull spot to have a little walk.
We also had a few stops just to take pictures before we got to PUNAKAIKI in the evening to look for a place to sleep.

They just had one room left with three available beds. We asked where we could do some groceries. . he knew that as well. The answer was not in this area. Simone really wanted to make Hamburgers that night but now we had to do that another evening. . Just rice with butterchicken will be on the menu tonight for us.

Time to do some washing and watch the sunsed. 
Our legs were itching from all the sandflies from Abel Tasman. They had bitten us pretty good and we just had to scratch them.
Simone was doing her travell diary and I was doing my blog with the New Zealand likeur next to us. . Quiet evenings we have! But we're getting up so early that we don't really stay out late. Vife till seven hours sleep at night will do.

In the morning I woke up and my lip was burning, I was still tired but couldn't sleep anymore so I stood up. When I looked at the mirrow I was suprised that it didn't broke. . I was looking terrible. . It looked like if I didn't had any sleep at all and my lip was twice the sice what it normally was. And I just didn't knew why. Perhaps because I burned my lip on Abel Tasman. . But you should see that straight away or the next day. Not one and a half day later..
So I was sitting there with the New Zealand likeur on my lip.. That took the burning and the swelling away a bit..  will probably go away by itself, just like it came I thought. Time will tell.

Simone woke up and we had Oats as breakfast, getting pretty sick of noodles. Simone put salt in it instead of sugar so she had noodles after all.

We just took it slow this day because I was not feeling so well. My lip was annoying me and I didn't had any energie. So we were just wrighting our travel diaries till about 12. Then we went to the Pancake Rocks, just a few minutes drive.
That was a walk of 20minutes and after that we went. . to the PANNCAKErestuarant, to have panncakes obviously. Nice ones with Banana, Caramel, Bacon and maple sirop. Jam Jam!! We also got a Chicken raspberry panini. We were wondering if it really was the idea to eat it codl.
Normally they warm them up. Hmm. . I walked back and asked that, apparently the guy that sold it to us should have told us that he could warm it up for us. . Good that we have brains aswell and think about stuff. Having a warm panini is so much better then a cold one
