Hello all-
Today we left Queenstown and drove to the east coast Scottish city of Dunedin. Took a walk around the city to see many very cool old buildings including the train station! We also took a tour of the only authenic Chinese Garden outside of China. The Chinese immigrants played a very importnat role in the early years of Dunedin. Dunedin's sister city wanted to commerate this and worked in partnership with Dunedin to develop this garden. Everything was brought over from China including the craftsman! It is very well done. Unfortunately it was raining for most of the day today, so some of the features were muted. I will send pics when I am able. We are stayng on the beach in the south part of the city. The Pacific ocean is right outside our door. Late this afternoon, all of the surfers and sea kayakers came out as the waves are huge! Fun to watch them "take a ride".
Well we are off to take a walk and get some dinner..... Hope to see some penguins tomorrow.

Take a surf dad! Russ and I would be proud :)
ReplyDeleteHere's a funny story....we were getting ready for bed tonight and started talking about "getting married" in relation to Rob & Claire. Actually, it all stemmed from Dora being on a diaper in a pretty dress like that of a flower girl. Anyway after explaining the term, we asked Audrey who she wants to marry. And she replied, "I marry Hama & Bapa." :)
