Just to confuse things we thought we would give you a really up to date blog entry as it is a really quick one. Apologies for being so far behind - but we are getting there slowly......
If you didn't know (which you won't by the state of the blog!!) We are in New Zealand now. While in the Abel Tasmin National Park we went to a place called Golden Bay and went to a Salmon Farm. I know that doesn't really sound altogether that interesting but the great thing was they supplied all the equipment (for free) and you could go and catch your own in the lake at the one end of the farm. You then paid for what you caught.
So rods in hand we wandered to the lake and as you can see from the photos below caught some beauties! Rob caught one in particular which was huge! We had them all filleted and smoked while we were at the farm, and for about a week afterwards pretty much every meal we had contained salmon. We managed to catch 6kg of Salmon in all!! As a result I have many recipe ideas for Salmon - all which can be cooked in a campervan!!!
The fish tasted delicious, not only because of how fresh (the first piece we ate had gone from lake to table in about 30 mins...) but because of the satisfaction of catching it yourself.
More news soon... we're nearly ready with the next Laos entry - just to keep you all on your toes!!
