The South East

We headed for the southeast and into ‘proper’ rain. Along the way we managed to see the impressive (?!) Moeraki Boulders, but after that rain definitely stopped play. Our timing turned out to be fortunate, as after being kept awake by driving wind and rain we awoke in Dunedin to discover that we had only been a couple of hours ahead of a storm that flooded and closed a couple of the major roads we had just passed along.

Dunedin had all the characteristics of being a beautiful coastal town with wonderful architecture and brightly coloured wooden houses perched high on the hillsides ..... or so we assumed, because it also had the poor weather shrouding it in a blanket of pea soup fog. So, we managed to amuse ourselves with a brewery tour and (another) Cadbury factory tour (have we explained how hard the travelling life is?!). The town also possesses the steepest street in the world, so that’s another pub quiz answer to store away in the back of our minds...
