Next stop was Invercargill (Home of the Worlds Fastest Indian and our friend Heather!). After hearing so much about it from her we felt obliged to pay it a visit as we were so close. We met up with Heather in a local bar and discovered the best thing ever to introduce to Ireland on our return - MOVEMBER!!!!
Basically Movember is a fund raising event for Male Cancer charities whereby all participants grow a moustache for the entire month of November (I'm sure Irish offices would love this one!!), they then compete for the relevant prizes on the 30th of November (best, worst, most ginger etc!!) and shave it off after. All for the sake of a great cause and the pub night was hilarious!! Ro even got a free Movember t-shirt!
Next morning we headed to the local museum where the Worlds Fastest Indian Exhibit was on its final day. We even got a go on his bike!
After a quick drive with a few friends out to Bluff (New Zealands "fake" mostly southerly point on the South Island!) we then headed to the "Real Bluff" in Slope Point before continuing on towards the Catlins!
