Dunedin - The Southern Capital

Day Six of our journey, and we've made it to Dunedin!

It's been a long and winding road here, through snowy mountain passes, blustery gorges and dry, rolling high country. We've seen some amazing places and have been having a ball!

Arrived in thick fog, drizzle and rolling clouds to Dunedin via Mosgiel and the Taieri Gorge road. Weather has been clear and gorgeous most of the way down, and only now have we hit wintry low clouds and rain.

Last night we stayed at a motorcamp by the beach, and splurged on a tiny cabin with a fan heater to keep us out of the rain, and so we could share warmth in bed for the night, without being separated by sleeping bags under our duvets (as is usually the case when sleeping in the van).  

Internet has been harder to hook-in to than expected, so this blog isn't quite as up-to-date as I had hoped. Will have to back log a few posts before we leave this town.

Off to the Dunedin Art Gallery, Settlers Museum, Aquarium, Olverston House, and a walking tour around the University and central city. Will camp out somewhere in Port Chalmers this evening, and go to a Yakiniku Restaurant (Japanese style charcoal-grilled steak house) out there. Chiharu has been having Yakiniku cravings for the last several weeks.
