Moeraki and Dunedin

We arrived in Moeraki in time for an early lunch in the cafe before visiting the Moeraki Boulders.  The boulders are huge, perfectly round stones that continually wash up on the beach in Moeraki (and nowhere else in New Zealand).  We found them perfect for pictures!

hmmm....

And Mommy said "now phoon"

We spent the afternoon exploring the sites of Dunedin and touring the Speight's Brewery.  Dunedin is a town founded by the Scottish immigrants to New Zealand and retains alot of that character.

What'll it be??

After dinner at our hotel (Scenic Hotel), we explored a little of the Dunedin nightlife on the Octagon. The next morning, we toured the Lonarch Castle which is not really a castle but an estate built to look like a castle.  The story of the Lonarch's is interesting and very sad.

We ended the day in Te Anau in a beautiful hotel right across the street from the lake.  We enjoyed a walk along the lake before the sun went down.

He can't help it....he sees a stump and he has to pray!
