Queenstown to Dunedin

Edinburgh by another name
... There are certainly aspects of Scottishness that we recognise if we squint but it's more the street names that are evocative of Scotland. Dunedin is home to the 'steepest street in the world' (as verified by the McWirters no less) so we duly climbed it ...
A good day out in Dunedin
... this is a simply stunning viewing point and should not be missed if you are in the area. At the risk of sounding boring, New Zealand is just so beautiful! Take the time while you are here to take in the scenery and enjoy the peace and beauty ...

Chocolate and wildlife - great combo!
We spent our first afternoon in Dunedin visiting New Zealand's Cadbury's factory - got laods more free chocolate than the one in Tasmania and is therefore, quite clearly, much better! However, I'm not sure my expanding waistline would agree! It was ...
Bye Bye Queenstown
Dunedin is a big student town in New Zealand and was the site of some student rioting a few weeks ago, aparently it happens at the same time every year when the students organise a road trip from Chrustchurch to Dunedin. Everyone buys a car for under $500 ...

... done a good job, they look lovely. Dean wasn't feeling so good while we were here so we didn't really do much at all in Dunedin except for taking a few long walks along the beach which is huge and very pretty. I did a lot of reading and typing while Dean ...

Coastal Otago

Moving On

Getting Back to Nature

Dunedin
... a day around the city, though, I'm happy to find that I really am a fan. Of any city I've seen in New Zealand, Dunedin is most like Wellington, and it's no secret that I love Wellington. The similarities include the hilly terrain, which topography (aside ...
Voyage into 2007
