Dunedin

Departing Queenstown (A), it was yet another day in the car traveling to Dunedin (B), where we stayed two nights and one full day.  The rain was quite heavy so we did not get out on the peninsula or the beach, but rather spent the day in the city. Our hotel was near the octagon so many sites were within walking distance.



Dunedin is the second largest city on New Zealand's South Island and the principle city in the region of Otago.  Dunedin (Celtic for Edinburgh) was established by Scottich immigrants and is characterized by an abundance of Gothic Revival architecture.

Baldwin Street - the steepest street in the world!



After touring the Cadbury Chocolate Factory, Julia declared this the best place in the whole South Island!




The chocolate waterfall was Julia's favorite!
Pizza at Ratbags - delicious!
Dunedin was Julia's kind of town.  After visiting there, Julia now has a life plan.  When she's grown up she wants to move to Dunedin and work at Ratbags Pizza and the Cadbury Chocolate factory.  We're so proud of her goals! :)
