It’s no secret that our host Geoff just loves a “Big Breakfast”. His job takes him far and wide across the country and he knows exactly where to find the best priced big breakfast in any town he passes through! As a sign of our appreciation for inviting us to stay on their property while we are currently homeless, it was decided that we would take over the cooking duties on Sunday morning and make a big breakfast for the four of us to share. Now, what about the menu? Robin and I decided on bacon and eggs, of course, with hash browns and tomatoes. It was easier to use Eileen’s kitchen than try to juggle everything on the caravan stove top. We took our favourite pans into the house and Robin went to work.

And very tasty it was too. We finished our breakfast with a cup of freshly brewed coffee, made by Geoff. Breakfast wasn’t served till about 10.00am so I don’t think we will need much lunch today.

IN the afternoon Geoff and Robin took a tour through Tuatara Brewery in Paraparaumu. The tour guide introduced the guests to the brewing process at Tuatara, showing the equipment and how the beer is made from start to finish. Questions were encouraged throughout the tour – the guides pride themselves on knowing their stuff! At the end of the tour four Tuatara beers were tasted.

The tour and tasting lasts approximately 45 minutes, after which you are more than welcome to stay for a drink and something to eat from our tasting room menu. Robin’s favourite was the Tuatara APA (Aotearoa Pale Ale). For those interested in Beer and wishing to know how it is made this tour is well worth while and recommended. You can find out about the tour here.
