Dunedin






Dunedin
Beautiful gardens and elegant old homes grace this lovely city, the fourth largest in New Zealand. Like Christchurch, the city was surveyed and laid out before the colonists arrived, which gives it a neat and tidy air. In fact, we all decided that all of the New Zealand towns seem to be orderly, unrushed, clean, and have a calm, peaceful atmosphere.
Again our day started out with a bus shuttle from the port. Our ride brought us right downtown, a short walk to the Cadbury Chocolate Factory. We all bought chocolates and walked down the road munching our candies and into the old Railroad Station, a magnificient stone structure. A leisurely day was spent walking throughout the town. We stopped at a Café for our mid-afternoon coffee or beer and then back to the port town of Port Chalmers.
We are still looking – over, under, and through for Tautara. Last night was a Western Line dance. Tonite Jerry won $250 playing Black Jack.
Rosie thought she found Tutara in the large pile of wood chips at the port.
Shawn though he found the Tutara up on the mountain after the gondola ride.
Dennis though he found Tutara too.
