After leaving the glowworm caves we headed north and ended up at Huntly which was the half way point between Waitomo and the Bay of Islands. We decided to head north rather than spend our last few days in Auckland.
Huntly is about as exciting as damp fireworks that won't light on Bonfire night. The accommodation was fine but the town was boring. We tried to find a restaurant for our evening meal and there were a whole 2 both of which looked like cafeterias and were completely empty! We chose the Old Court House, eat on our own and were ripped off with the steak we had ordered. Its only saving grace was a really pleasant Korean girl who was restaurant manager, barmaid, waitress and general dogsbody all rolled into one!
However as we drove down the high street we counted 8 takeway shops, indian, chinese, turkiish, fish and chips, bakeries, just about all you could fancy.
Now if the restaurants were empty but there were all these takeaways that were open I can onl draw one conclusion about the residents of Hùntly - they must be lousy cooks who are antisocial and as boring as the town itself. Steve thinks I am being unkind but has to agree with my assessment - who would want to live here?.
