Lucked out at this hostel as there was only me and one other lady in our 4 share. It was great for 2 but might have been small with more. Slept great. Kitchen small too but had some nice picnic tables outside to eat. Very convenient to Botannical Gradens behind...which were VERY nice and short walk to bus station...maybe 10 minutes.

So yes, I didn't get much sleep and to top it off ended up waking early when two (French) brothers set their alarm to leave early. But hey I didn't mind ... they were sweet guys and pleasant on the eye! So unable to get back to sleep I just sat in bed and read.

Penquin Spotting!

We then left Otago for Oamaru, stopping en route to check out the Moeraki Boulders, spherical stones between two and six feet diameter which were formed millions of years ago, and only relatively recently exposed by the erosion of the sandstone cliffs which held them. The stones lie on the beach, but it was late when we got there and only a few …

After a brief wander around Dunedin going to see the cathedral and the most beautiful VIctorian railway station I headed north to Oamaru. The weather was pretty dull but the scenery made up for it. Again I took the coastal route and saw loads of seals and the almost spherical Moeraki boulders.
Arrived in Oamaru and followed signs to the …
