Bella Vista Dunedin

Without stepping into the sea and if you do'nt count antarctica, I am now just about as far as I can get from home, everywhere I travel from now on is headed back towards the UK - The land up/over.<br>Dunedin..<br>Got in early afternoon, found a nice backpacker place run by a pleasant lady from "Middlesborough", Cheryl. I decided that I'd had enough of driving and was going to rest up for the weekend and get some laundry done - My one pair of ...

... world but none of these gave even a penny back if you were left disappointed. I'm going to make a lot of money on my dinosaur tours when I get around to organising them. I can't guarantee you won't see any dinosaurs but there's a very good chance you won't. That'll be $39, thanks!<br><br>So that about wraps up this edition of RTWIEH. Next time; after touching the furthest point of Southern New Zealand we start heading North and towards the better weather!<br><br>Love, Dan.

So, we ended up spending a couple of hours in the Art Gallery and Museum attached to the visitors' centre, and then having a brisk walk around the Queens Gardens. Very lovely.

NZ Life 7 &amp; 8: Many people have a 'bach' (pronounced 'batch') - which is a holiday home which can range from a tin shed in the middle of nowhere to something a bit more substantial. They still call swimming costumes 'togs' here - shades of Enid Blyton and The Famous Five. Smashing, especially with lashings of Pinot!

... hatte ich einen speziellen Wunsch: Ich wollte unbedingt in das Café 'The Fix', da konnte ich einfach nicht dran vorbei! Danach waren wir in Cadbury World, einer Schokoladenfabrik, und haben eine Fuehrung mitgemacht. Das war schon interessant, aber die Schokolade, die wir bekommen haben, war einfach nur bappsuess, also nicht sehr lecker. Ja und leider musste ich am naechsten Tag um 7.45 Uhr wieder in den Bus nach Christchurch sitzen. Aber ich werde immer an die 3 geilen Tage in Dunedin denken!!

... for shelter next to the one remaining van - which later left anyway - by a low grassy bank whose benefits were largely psychological. We fed ourselves with a large salad whose healthy leafy greenness of course counteracted the effects the couple of eggs, chunks of fried sausage and croutons we also included...and the bottle of wine. Lettuce and cucumbers work wonders for one's nutritional conscience. Waking up in an intact van, we popped over to see the albatrosses ...
