Goodbye Dunedin, hello SUNSHINE!

Nugget Point

Rocks off of Nugget Point

Bobby trying to find a good rock to fish off, turned out this spot was to be to wet for him!
We hiked all around these incredible rock formations on Purakanui Beach. Bobby and Johnny collected some mussels for Bobby to use as bait. Glen loaned him a fishing rod, which is what he did a lot of...fishing not catching. It was too bad, really. We had fun, though.

We had a little visitor

Well, Dunedin was fun. But it is time to say goodbye. We will really miss our friends we made there, and our great jobs, but we are excited to continue our exploration of the rest of the South Island. The four of us planned a 2 week excursion starting in the Catlins heading southwest towards Doubtful Sound and then north to Arrowtown where we will say goodbye. Johnny and Maegan will continue north, and we will...well we are not yet sure. But we planned all kinds of adventures until then.

Looking Back...Moraki Boulders


Over the last few months, we have taken a few side trips from our home in Dunedin. One of which was to the Moraki Boulders. It was a spontaneous little day excursion, and was well worth the drive. The spherical boulders are just randomly scattered in a small area on a beach. Some even have fossils. They are so quirky! We loved it.
