Comments on: Milford Sound & Vesta Cafe, New Zealand http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/03/15/milford-sound-vesta-cafe-new-zealand/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

Also, Anthony Hopkin's accent in The World's Fastest Indian was actually very close to Burt's real accent. A lot of Soutlanders speak with a bit of a Scottish lilt to their voice as so many Scots settled there. It's unusual, but his family gave it the thumbs up!

Milford Sound was enjoyable, but not quite what I epxected. I weas glad I was not driving on those widy roads - I honestly thought that our coach was going to fly off the edge a number of times.

As a girl from Southland, I have point out that your cheese toastie is actually called a cheese roll. They are a south island delicacy and there is often debate about how to make the best one. Between the cheese rolls and deep south hokey pokey I feel homesick! So glad you enjoyed our beautiful part of nz. Hi NQN, I love your blog and read it every day.
