Hello there. Sounds like you're having interesting adventures. I read your 'Otautau looks gloomy' note and thought what a shame you didn't have more time to spend in the town as it seemed you were only driving through. We actually have a really nice town. Good people, good facilities, good fishing, scenic views etc. The town has a lot to offer for those who want to take the time. Check out our blog to see what you missed: http://otautau.blogspot.com
