... was fabulous. They have a great natural history area which includes an exhibit relating to Charles Darwin, in honor of his 200th birthday. There are also exhibits about early settlers including the Maori ancestors, and a very interesting maritime section which included lots of models of old ships. Then we visited the Otago University -- beautiful Scottish architecture. We rode a bus home.

... to help him out for four hours this afternoon. He's paying $20 an hour and your friend Martin is keen. Do you want to do it?” the lack of details intrigued me. I asked Martin if he had any more details and he told me that he didn't but he was doing it regardless. I did try and scare him by suggesting it could be nude modelling or milking cows but he didn't really care. The Polish work ethic is truly something to behold. I, on the other hand, hadn't done any ...

... 8217;s paradise – The Cadburys factory! Unfortunately they were fixing the roof when we visited so we weren’t able to do the full tour but we still got to see lots of things including seeing a tonne of molten dairy milk chocolate falling in the chocolate waterfall. At the end of our tour the guide asked everyone to hold up their hands. We all wondered what she was doing and as she inspected us, Keith was the only ...

... kamenu a ruznych skal, celkem zvlastni a zaroven poklidna oblast. Natacel se tu film "Chronicles of Narnia", ktery jsem ovsem jeste nevidela.

... properties and thus was recommended by doctors for almost every known ailment (it was probably a combination of the sugar rush and the caffeine that made people feel better)... anyways, there's a bit of interesting information for you... and my favorite of the day, the Speights Brewery Tour... this was not only intoxicating and tasty, but it was very informative... let me tell you what i learned.... a lot of people say that Guiness ...

... from Sheffield and had a very entertaining evening ending in several glasses of port and a late night. The next day the sun came out and we looked around the impressive gardens and the castle, small but interesting, before driving up the peninsula to join a boat tour - only 12 of us. Brilliant skipper who was the nature guide as well. On the way out we came across 3 pods of Dusky Dolphins, a trio of Sea Lions and several Fur ...

... alle immer fleissig gearbeitet haben in den letzten Wochen und eigentlich auch fast immer frueh aufstehen mussten, haben wir in Dunedin erstmal ausgeschlafen. Da schoenes Wetter war, haben Lena und ich beschlossen, eine Tour auf die Otago Peninsula zu buchen. Um 13.30 Uhr ging's los. Erst mussten wir aber fast ne Stunde fahren bis zum Albatross Center. Eigentlich kann man dort Royal Albatross sehen, aber momentan machen die sich gerade rar, weil wir zwischen 2 Saisons sind. Die Jungvoegel ...

... we simply took a walk along the cliff edge and got blown around due to the very strong gusts. Feeling cold and battered we returned to Dunedin and found the steepest street in the world, Baldwin Street. The ****** rental car had a hard time reaching the top (or was that Chris being unrelentful) but the view down was impressive. Unfortunately the pitures we got do not give it justice so trust us - it was very steep! Back into town for a wander ...
