Dunedin

Jan 8- We arrived in Dunedin, our Air BnB is spacious and has a BBQ, so exciting!  We decided to go check out Baldwin Street, thanks Nana for the hint.  It is the World’s Steepest Residential Street.

Not sure what this is???

Lounging on the road

Tried to make the kids the same height.

Jan. 9- We checked out the Otaga Museum, one can get lost for hours in this place.  Very neat!

Danika found a boyfriend

Some turtles are scared.

The extinct Moa.

Sayer got a picture of a Lambo, so exciting………for Sayer!

Jan.10 – The weather here has been cool.  It is around 15-20 C. We went on an art mural scavenger hunt and the kids got some new All Blacks garb.

Jan. 11 With the weather not really improving we decided to drive out to the Otaga Peninsula.  We were on a hunt for penguins, sea lions and albatross.  Much to our dismay these creatures are best viewed at around 9 at night.  We did get to take in some amazing views.

We then went to the Railway station

and finally made our way to the Dunedin Botanical Gardens and Aviary.

We have also been playing a family game of 500 that has been getting pretty competitive.

With a big catch!

Notice Renelle pushing the kids away.

Jan. 12 – We headed on to the  Science centre as the weather is not really turning around for the beaches.

The beginning of the universe simulation.

Renelle and Danika face melding.

Rube Goldberg!

Future astronauts??

The boys then headed out to the Beachlands Speedway for another car race.  The races were amazing as the kiwi’s say, racing is a full contact sport!  We saw three more roll overs and a Tow Mater tow truck to boot! – Shawn
