So, we finally got on our merry way for stage 1 of the road trip and, so far it's been sooo good!
we've headed south to Dunedin, but in a rather indirect way. Rather than tracing the coast, we went inland a bit and took in some beautiful mountainous scenery and pretty lakes.
On our first night we stayed on the banks of lake Tekapo which was super peaceful and surrounded by snow capped mountains.
The next day we hit the road and saw maori paintings in Twizel, blue eyed penguins in Oamaru and today we made it to Dunedin, saw the art gallery, the museum and the botanic gardens. Now we're going to catch a movie before hitting the road again tomorrow. Better Go!
By the way, I've added a photo gallery for this stage, so you can see what we've been up to.
