Dunedin


Dunedin is probably our favorite city in New Zealand. It is small with a population of only about 123,000, but does contain the sizable University of Otago. The architecture in the city is brilliant. There are many classic examples of Edwardian and Victorian architecture throughout the city, and there are several large Gothic Churches as well. It is even fun to walk in the residential areas and appreciate the smaller homes' architecture. Sarah also liked the fact that every other house seemed to have a rose garden.

When I stopped for petrol, I told the clerk how much more I liked the city's design than Auckland. He said, "Yeah, just don't tell anyone from up there about us. We don't want 'em down here." So, shhhhhhh...

Wow Geoffrey - your photos are beautiful! Mind you, travelling across NZ means you have pretty good raw material. :-)
