Flying south to Dunedin

Last week Shad & Baz headed to Dunedin, New Zealand. For those of you unfamiliar with the city, it's a medium sized city (as far NZ cities go) with scottish roots and architecture to boast. Beuatiful little streets and cafes, and very well known for its general dining. If you find yourself in these parts, Japanese, Thai and Cambodian restaurants are incredible. I know, you would think there would be more of a scottish influence dining wise, considering the original settlers here, but Dunedin makes up for it in the form of whisky bars.

The city is filled with beautiful churches, below are pictures of Knox Church. Although I don't have photos here, the First Church in the middle of town is also a must see if you are visiting.

And even though the city is headed into a chilly winter, something else Dunedin is well known for, (first snow of the season today!) there are still hints of summer colours around the city...

The University of Otago can make you feel like you have transported back in time, or better yet, that you have disappeared into the world of Hogwarts...

A must visit eatery is Friendlys Khmer Satay Noodle House which serves up their NZ famous chicken satay noodle soup (left). I have yet to find this soup anywhere else in the country. Or if you are in the modd for Japanese, try Jizo and order their karage chicken, it's to die for.

All in all, Dunedin is the perfect city to wander, there's always something interesting to be seen or experienced...

And these pictures are from only a few days, imagine what more Dunedin has to offer!

Reminiscing summer days

Today the reality kicked in. It's beginning to get a little chilly here in NZ as the last of the summer warmth fades away and leaves us with a winter chill. Missing the heat already, we put together some of summer photos we took at the Parnell botanical gardens earlier this year to help us momentarily disappear back into a dream of summer. Envious of those of you heading into warmer temperatures on the other side of the globe.

 

 

And a cheeky grin from this wee fellow, couldn't resist!
