Best Western Saville International Hotel Dunedin

... downing the 2 pints - and decided that if I were to stay in there any longer, then I would be in no fit state to watch the big match, so I upped and went for a long walk around the city centre and docks.<br>I stumbled into "the Terrace bar", a kind of sports/theme/bar restaurant where I watched the Kiwis thrash the mighty Bahrain 1-0 - Trust me guys, England have nothing to fear from NZ.<br>It was a good atmosphere though and many drinks ...

... if he's wrong an inch, everyone's out of the boat and<br>impaled on some rock. After sharing a lunch of Bangers &amp; Mash<br>(sausage on top of mashed potatoes &#8211; warm, good, and cheap!) we<br>head off to Dunedin. <br><br>Dunedin reminded us of Pittsburgh &#8211; there was a rugby game that<br>night and the pub we went to had 10 televisions showing the game &#8211;<br>including a theater-sized tv. The more we watch ...

... which the Lonely Planet said was worth a look. Nugget Point is basically a place on the south coast where there are lots of jagged rocks which are believed to look like nuggets of gold &#8211; hence the name, Nugget Point! The small town just before the rocks was a lovely little holiday village, and the nuggets themselves were very nice! <br> <br><br>But the best discovery we made that day was a small bay around the corner which it ...

... New Guinea as, O-Wizzle. On the exterior he seems nothing too out of the ordinary. He is a PhD student, has a penchant for hair products and a fondness for trendy denim jeans. One might think of him as your average, ordinary metro-sexual but beneath this façade lies Dunedin&#8217;s village slut. At any given time, he will have slept with 30% of his facebook news feed. An impressive feat for any Kiwi -particularly because sheep cannot use computers. Prior to our ...

My last day in Dunedin. Well, it'll be a good one! I'm going for a swim at the Moana pool after I check out, then I'll be on my way to check out the university. I heard it's really nice and I'm sure I won't be bothered by all the young men...I mean, scholars. Haha. Then I plan to do some shopping, I'd like to find a mall. NZ seems to have so many stores lined along the street ...

... walk down to the cliffs on the coast. The water had carved out an arch and the waves were really getting high hitting it (until we pulled out our cameras, then the waves died away). Someone decided he wanted access to the beach and carved out a tunnel (hence the name of the beach) down to the beach. But the walk down - and especially the walk back up was so steep, that I wonder how often people actually access the beach to go swimming!

... penguin...about the size of a large parrot), seen colonies of sea lions that are only found here and seen an albatross colony up close ( the only one on any mainland land mass in the world). Albatross are just freakish. They are huge birds weighing almost 25 lbs ( almost two bowling balls with wing spans that are hard to fathom. They cant get off the ground by flapping their wings, just by spreading them and leaning ...

... of Edinburgh. We drove out to the world's steepest street, Baldwin St. Which climbs 46 metres at an incline of 1 in 3.4 (or something like that), dropped into the botanical gardens, so Ellie could scope out the competition for RBG in Kew, ran around the Otaga musuem looking at extinct birds and visited the railway station, apparently the most photographed building in New Zealand (and on a world scale ...

... chocolate waterfall. Before our departure, we couldn't resist buying some chocolate. It was sold at a discount price of $2.90. So we just couldn't resist buying about 15 of the approx. 1 pound bars in assorted flavors. Following this, Rex *****ed long and hard about carrying that stinkin' bag of chocolate! (Typical). Also, the girl who rang us and our pile of chocolate up, thought that I was a famous person! She swore that she had seen me before, or that I was ...

... was set up to protect it. However, due to the interest of the local population, especially their penchant for taking eggs as souvenirs, the colony didn't manage to produce a fully fledged chick for some time. In 1937, Dunedin ornithologist Dr Lance E. Richdale set up measures to protect the colony from interference, and was rewarded in 1938 when the first Taiaroa reared chick flew. Now a protected nature reserve with a population of around 140 of these endangered ...
