Meanwhile Camilla had chopped some kindling. She tried to get the coal stove going without luck [stove 1, humans 0], but I managed [stove 1, humans 1], and Murielle boiled a pot of water on it [stove 1, humans 2] before it got too smoky [stove 2, humans 2] and we reverted to using my gas stove. (The smoke did, however keep the sandflies down, which made the score there sandflies 100, humans 1.) Our dinner was couscous with mince and peas.
A German couple, Samantha and Tobias, who we'd met doing the Kepler Track, were also at Hollyford Camp, and they joined us after dinner and we stayed up talking until 12.30am. They both worked in IT, but were WWOOFing - staying in New Zealand on a "willing workers on organic farms" program. The lights were supposed to go out at 10pm, when the generator stopped, but they stayed on later - we thought because Murray was watching television with some guests. We had a good supply of candles anyway.
