Aotearoa

On our way to Dunedin we stopped at Oamaru for petrol, where the ladies came out to fill up our car (you don't see that anymore) with big :-)s. Had coffee at a local hotel, not good, too bitter. Drove via Moeraki to see the incredible boulders on the beach and spotted a great t-shirt with the caption "Possums: New Zealand's little speed humps":-). Checked into the Victoria Hotel in Dunedin and were given an upgrade to a brand new room, excellent deal. Walked through Dunedin to see the sights, very Scottish architecture but as the weather was pretty cold and drizzly our walk was a short one. Had tempura, rice & ramen soup for dinner, delish. Before leaving

Dunedin the following morning, Olja got a photo opportunity with Novak Djokovic downtown. Then we headed to Baldwin St. which, according to the Guinness Book of Records, is the "steepest street in the world". Of course, Olja had to take a walk up and back, while Michael, sensibly (!) sat in the car.
