Dunedin - Railway Station

History and Beauty, a wonderful place to see how things were over 100 years ago, with one of the most photoigraphed buildings in New Zealand.

The detail in the tiles and patterns in stunning, and the stained glass windows are kept in pristine condition. The gardens are lovely and the sponsorship walk with the printed bricks makes for something special.



 




We could have spent a lot longer around here, seeing the art shop and catching a tourist train, but simply didn't have the time. It ended up being a quick stop, a few photos, and a lasting impression.

Dunedin - World's Steepest Street

This is truly a one of a kind, and I have to say I don't envy the people who live on this street.

We drove up to the bottom of the hill, looked at it and said "Nope, I don't trust that the car will make it".
So we got out and walked, took photos, commented on how much our calves were complaining, had a breather at the top, walked back to the bottom and got certificates to prove we were here.










 Sadly, we weren't there at the Jaffa Festival...  THAT is the only way it could get better ;)
