Pavlova, at last!




We decide to have some coffee & cake at the sky tower cafe while taking in the view & finally get to have a pavlova. Prior to visiting New Zealand we thought that the pavlova was a meringue based cake named after Anna Pavlova. Having spent the last 4 and a half weeks here we now understand that the pavlova is nothing less than a national institution in New Zealand. There is some debate in Antipodean circles as to whether the Aussies or the Kiwis invented the pavlova but frankly while on New Zealand soil I wouldn't dare to even discuss this. We just settle for eating some & regardless of its country of origin, all we know for sure is it's delicious!
