Match Day! England v Argentina
We set off early to the Octagon in the centre of Dunedin to soak up the atmosphere before the game. It was packed with supporters, both English and Argentinian, with flags and costumes in abundance. However, if there was a prize for singing ...
Day 10: Fog and Chocolates

The Life and Travels of the BB Car

P-P-P-P-P Pick up a Penguin.
... formed together and organised some kind of coup to take over the country. They'd be far better off than they are now. So be warned New Zealand they are a serious threat. Next day was an early one for the low tide and some caves, this was on some rugged ...
Dunedin, NZ
... reminds me Northern Ireland with the grassy rolling landscape. The sun was shining today and the temperature was warm-ish (New Zealand is definitely cooler than Australia). I went for a walk with my friend Alyshia on deck 6 - lower ...
Cadbury's Chocolate Factory!
This morning before leaving Dunedin we went to the Cadburys Chocolate Factory.... it was good fun.... You get to wear a hairnet, and Stu had to wear a 'Beard-net' as he hasn't shaved in about a year and has a bit of stubble! Along the tour you get ...
Dunedin - too big!
We drove all day to get across the island from Te Anau to Dunedin. As soon as we hit Dunedin we got a bit of a shock - it's a big old town and we just weren't used to it! We had problems finding a place to park the camper but eventually ...
Dunedin
... we go on a Nature's Wonders tour which is really good. It's based in a nature reserve and we get taken to see New Zealand Fur Seals and Blue Penguins, unfortunately we don't see any of the really rare Yellow Eyed penguins but it's a ...
Dunedin
... on them! Like we need excuses for the latter! Anyway, it was also a lovely stroll on the beach to stretch our legs. Dunedin, 2nd city of the South, seemed massive compared to the 'hicksville' townships we'd driven through so far. It has a ...
Dunedin via Moeraki
... that if you go down the coast you can see them for free. We try our luck and take the coastal road towards Dunedin. After passing through Kakahui we stopped off to look at the Moeraki Boulders. These are strange, perfectly round boulders sitting on the ...
Dunedin
So from the party city of Queenstown, we headed back over to the East coast to a place called Dunedin. It apparently got its name from its resemblence to Edinburgh....obvious not from anyone that had actually been to Edinburgh!! We really struggled to see ...
Dunedin - Otago Peninsula
... terns (?), but also usual mix of yellowheads, ferntails, and splendid goldfinch too. Steph picked out some welcome swallows. Finally reached Dunedin via our first "motorway" in NZ. Turned off to the Orago Peninsula, up the other side of the bay in ...
Albatrosses and Little Blue Penguins
... and then flared upward and dropped thier feet to land o the rocky cliffside. By 1-2 pm we were freezing so we drove back into Dunedin for lunch and the final bit of grocery shopping. Then at 5 pm it was off to see the Albatrosses. It was ...
Penguins on the South Coast
We continued on the south coast scenic route to Dunedin. Our first stop was Codie Bay, where there is a petrified forest and yellow eye'd penguins (couldn't find any petrified penguins). Millions of years ago, a huge forest was stuck ...
Voyaging through Middle Earth
... This sort of view most definitely makes up for the bucketfull's of rain we also had along the way. On our arrival in Dunedin we decided to visit a local Penguin sanctuary, and though we got drenched in the process, we were lucky enough to see ...
Inspiring Scenery
... and saw a monument to Robert Falcon Scott, better known as Scott of the Anatartic, who planned his trips and set off from New Zealand on his epic journeys to reach the North Pole. It certainly felt good after all our travelling to get out and use our own ...
Drinking games with Kiwis
Another place for us to stop for one night. We had a walk around town and went to see what Kiwis claim is the 2nd most photographed thing in the southern hemisphere - the train station! I think they forget that south america is also in the southern ...
Scottish summer
... formaron en el interior de la montaña por sedimentos y esas cosas, y con la erosion la montaña va soltandolas y caen al mar... Dunedin es uno de esos pueblos con calles empinadas y nuestro hostel estaba en lo alto de una colina, de la que necesitabas ...
Was that an earthquake...?
... fire truck, and the 'fire warden' casually smoking a cigarette! Once we finally boarded our bus we headed on our way to Dunedin, stopping at Florence Hill Lookout, Teapotland (quite as strange as it sounds) and Nugget Point along the way. Of the three, ...
Musings from Down Under
... cold, so I must have had it and not even known. But I've felt better for awhile now, which is good; I didn't want my New Zealand experience to be tainted by illness. So what have I been up to...not much really. I've been barraged by research papers, ...
Penguins, Samurai, Self-Segregation and more!
... 's the rundown: Political Communication in NZ: Meets once a week for an hour. Yea. I'm a slight disadvantage because I wouldn't know a New Zealand politician's name from an Aussie ping pong champion, but I'll catch up. New Zealand Religion & Society: ...
Goodbye Dear Dunedin
... did my farewell loop of Dunedin, so to speak. After leaving Whare Flat, I spent some time roaming the streets, stopping at the Dunedin Art Gallery for some time. I dove into their NZ film archives and viewed a couple strange films made by kiwi producers. ...
