Or not. Actually walking all around Japan will probably mean I'll need good, comfy, FLAT, sneakers.Oh woe is me. How I wish I could walk in heels all day, everyday without feeling like my feet need to be in the ICU.It's sort of amusing because when my feet start to hurt from a night out in heels I …

I lived in Dunedin, NZ for almost 6 months and met some of the most amazing people ever. We spent most of our time drinking but in between all that we traveled the South Island. Here is a summary of some of the places we visited.

Well after a great evening we had a good sleep and got up reasonably early this morning. Breakfast was being served in the Stable so we went there.  The french lady and her children came down to breakfast and the children asked us to go to the Cadbury Chocolate Factory with them. As we had not…

Vandaag is het 14 december en ben ik precies 2 maanden aan het reizen. We rijden nu in een kleiner busje op weg naar Dunedin. Het is echt rennen om alles te kunnen zien. Ik bezocht de chocoladefabriek Cadburry. Eerst mochten we 10 minuten door het "museum" rondlopen en daarna begon de tour. Als je …

We zijn weer voor de wekker van 07:30 wakker, niet extreem, maar wel een aantal minuten. Om 08:00 gaan we ontbijten en er is van alles, gebakjes, croissants, 2 soorten yoghurt, vers fruit etc. Vandaag gaan we de Otago Peninsula op, het 30 km lange schiereiland ten oosten van de stad. We nemen op de…

Another day starts and once again we don’t manage sleeping until our alarm clock sounds. At 6.45 my dad snores us out of a quiet sleep for the fourth time and we figure we might as well get up now. Since we were so late in the hotel yesterday we didn’t unpack much of our stuff, so there isn’t…

Decided to drive down to Dunedin as too snowy to really cross Arther's pass. Turned about to be a great call. Checked into a place called Hogwarts which was so nice. A big old house and we had huge rooms. Spent 3 nights there as such a nice city. Had a day wandering the city and another on the…

After breakfast in Dunedin we drove to Timaru via Moeraki.  We stopped at Moeraki to visit the beach with the big boulder on which was nice and then a rather strange bird sanctuary. Timaru was a nice enough town but rather quiet - not the right season for it.  Had a wander about and some…

Lisa (Yarasil) received her Photographers award recently and in looking through and smiling at her wonderful gallery of photos as I usually do, I ran across two nice photos taken at Larnach Castle Lodge in Dunedin, New Zealand.   This looks much like a medieval castle from the photos alth…

Before she enters the Octagon she's Princess Street, but after the block-long ride she becomes a he. On the otherside she's George Street. Well I found free internet at the public library...you just can't access your email and I can't upload photos on here either...bummer, but at least I can type…

Today was a long but fun day.  Left Te Anau to go to Dunedin.  It is the second largest city in the South Island and fifth largest in all of New Zealand in population.  It is famous for it’s railway station built in 1906, the Cadbury chocolate factory, Otago University, and the wor…

5 hrs on a bus from queenstown to dunedin wasn't as bad as it could have been. my favourite was the stop at the fruitmarket, so we could all go and buy some heal;thy snack instead of somethinhg yucky from a run down cafe like most buses stop at... Went to the museum in Dunedin to look at butt…

We arrived in Dunedin after a long drive from the Catlins and checked in at a campsite straight away. We decided we had just enough time for a tour of the Speights "Pride of the South" brewery. The tour took about an hour, followed by plenty of refreshments at the end. Even Cecilia q…

Our journey continued to Dunedin. The student city of NZ.  When we reached the city they were having some kind of gathering around the center. What exactly it was, I couldn’t recall. Stopped by the Tourist Information Center and was recommended to visit the Otago Peninsular. We went to Al Hu…
