This mornig we had a lie-in, then we drove to the I-Site with a plan of parking up and having a look around the town. On the way, I saw an advert on our map for Splash Palace - a leisure centre with hot tubs and a steam room. I fancied a swim (it's been a while!) so we changed our plans and drove there instead - the beauty of having your own wheels! We had a good couple of hours swimming and steaming, with a jacuzzi in between - not bad for $14 for 2 of us! Afte...

Today we got up and got in touch with Chris via skype to wish him a happy birthday (a surprise arranged by Kerry), even though it's not quite his birthday in England yet! It was good to talk to him and Kerry and find out how his travel plans are coming along. We should all be meeting up in Bangkok at the end of February - looking forward to it! We also skyped home and talked to Mam, Dad and Kelly. Kelly's going to start looking for flights to Australia to meet u...

Today was VERY rainy :( We woke up to the sound of the rain on our roof, managed to pack up and eat breakfast during a quick 'sunshine break' and hit the road!

We drove all morning in the rain with a few stops - one to see 'Niagra Falls' at the side of the road, but in Dave's words it 'wasn't even worth a photo!' an...

This morning, Laura's neck and glands were still sore, so we decided to try to find a doctor to take a look. We drove back along the gravel road towards Balclutha - a 50km drive. At the I-Site, we asked about doctors and they were very helpful, asking if we wanted them to book Laura an appointment. They rang around a few doctors before they managed to get her in at 3pm. With a few hours to kill, we went to the library to get online for half an hour. Then we drov...

Today we managed to get up earlier than yesterday and were packed up and ready to leave at 10am. We said goodbye to Dunedin Holiday Park for the last time and headed into Dunedin to use the internet in the library and buy some postcards. There was one place we still needed to see before leaving Dunedin for good - Baldwin Street, the steepest street in the world! We parked up on the main road and walked to the bottom of this VERY steep street! The weekend before ...
