On the Tuesday we checked out of the motel and headed towards Dunedin.\u00a0 The roads were amazing cutting in and out of the mountains.\u00a0 I say this as the passenger of course and may have looked upon them slightly less favourably had I been driving.\u00a0 This area (Central Otago) is known as fruit country and there were numerous orchards with roadside shops attached.\u00a0 We stopped at one and picked up two bags of apples.\u00a0 I forget what the first was but the second was a bag of Braeburns (my Dad’s favourite) and they were fresh and exquisite.<\/p>\n
When we arrived in Dunedin we went into the town and had a look around.\u00a0 Lance then drove round in circles for a while.\u00a0 Actually that’s a bit unfair, the central area has an octogan of roads around it so I guess I should be accurate and say he drove in octogans!\u00a0 I was technically navigating but the map he had was made in about 1874 and I would, for example, direct him down a road which had now been converted into a dead end rather than a through road.\u00a0 Eventually we found the holiday park which we had been looking for and checked in.<\/p>\n
The holiday park said it was next to the beach and it was.\u00a0 Well, it was if you took a trek through a golf course and up and down several hills.\u00a0 Unfortunately the beautiful beach was slightly marred by Paul calling me.\u00a0 This meant that I had to contact the Police as it was a breach of his bail conditions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
