Kapiti aka Coppity

Kapiti!  Just the name makes me happy.

Kapiti is a small town on the south of the south island, between Dunedin and Invercargill.  It's also a small island with a bird sanctuary, and the Kapiti Coast is just around the bend from Wellington on the bottom of the north island.

And I'm sure those Kapitis are just gorgeous, every bit of them.

But what I'm talking about, and writing a free commercial for, is the ice cream and cheese company.  They make this ice cream bar... vanilla plus boysenberry syrup covered in thick chocolate.  On a stick so you feel like a kid who really knows her ice cream.  And this cup of vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup.   Oh.  Mmm.   Sometimes we have to run down to the convenience store.  Because we just can't stand to go another minute without Kapiti in our lives. 

Oh!  and the cheeses!  They make this camembert that I want everyone in the world to be able to try.  On those wafer-thin crackers... I kind of don't know what to do about it, it's so good.

There is a Kapiti store just off of Queen street.  We have purposely avoided ever going there, because we are both self-aware enough to realize that once we set foot inside that store, we have doomed ourselves to buy entirely too many unhealthy dairy products.
