Dunedin......
......the clocktower at the University of Otago.Took a couple of pics of Dunedin before leaving this morning.
Had a good run to Te Anau,stopping off at Gore for breakfast and at a scenic reserve just outside of Gore called Dolamore Park where we did an hour's bush walk to a viewpoint 300 or so metres up. Bit boring actually after some of the other panoramas we've had EXCEPT for being accosted by a couple of fantails (little birds,a bit like sparrows but with an amazing fan tail - must be the same length as the body). They fluttered around us on the path coming within 2 or 3 feet. I could become a twitcher!
Then on to our digs in Te Anau...............an old convent that had been moved (literally) from its location 60 or so miles away. Looks fantastic - Trailfinders have excelled themselves this time!
We were booked on a visit to some glowwarm caves across Lake Te Anau,involving a trip on a catamaran ferry and subterranean hike (having to squeeze through passageways about a metre high in virtual darkness) and a short boat ride in total darkness apart from the light of the glowwarms! It didn't do a lot for me but
Dunedin,,,,
......the clocktower building at the University of Otago. Rae enjoyed it (I preferred seeing the underground waterfalls we had to pass in the limestone caves).
Off to Doubtful Sound tomorrow on a full day trip. Hasta luego......
