Otago Museum Dunedin

Cela fait une semaine jour pour jour que je suis arrivee a Dunedin, je commence a me reperer un peu mieux dans la ville... et a comprendre le code de la route neo zelandais ! Les feux me posent probleme, mais je crois avoir enfin compris le systeme. Ca a vraiment l'air sympa de conduire ici, peu de traffic, des routes entretenues...

Donc …

The majority of the people in the hostel I'm staying at found out that they had jobs this week – working up on the mountains, but because I ended up not going to the recruitment day as I had the stupid non trial at the airport, grrr so annoyed because I know I would have also had a job if I had gone… well retrospect is a lovely thing I …

Dunedin begrüßt uns nach einer Woche Abgeschiedenheit in den Catlins mit einem schönen Scheibenschaden. Beim Rückwärtseinparken macht es "rums" und der Fahrradlenker bohrt sich durch die Heckscheibe. Zum Glück finden wir eine tolle Unterkunft und einen netten Hostelbesitzer, ein Camper der alten Garde, der uns mit Tips zum Scheibenersatz versorgt. …

So after Stewart Island, Amy and me were trying to decide on what to do next. We both really wanted to do the Catlins but we couldn't hire a car to do so. We ended up hitching to Dunedin to meet up with a Jann, a friend from Wanaka. We were, yet again, lucky with the hitching but it was getting tiresome with the big bags all the time.

We …
