Dunedin Dunedin Dunedin

Dudes,
Wait one month is gone already? How'd that happen? Time flies when you're flying.

With now a little less than 2 weeks to go on this adventure, we're extending our stay in Dunedin even longer. It's nice not to be on the to ALL the time. With the exception of being in Sydney for 6 days, this the longest I've been in one place for month. We need and needed to land for a couple of days.

What started as a 2 day stay,turned into 4 days, which then has turned into something else entirely. This time last week, by today we would be back in the North Island getting reacquainted and friendly with the Windy City, Wellington.

But, nope. We're still here.

I can't quite put my finger on what I like about this city. It's nestled in the eastern corner of the South Island. I haven't been out of the city for a couple of days... Actually I haven't gone further than 8 blocks in any direction since we blew in-- in our Silver Stallion, Bruno Timberlake Mars on Wednesday.

Friday night we attended our first RUGBY GAME, and it was the most brutal, animalistic thing I have ever seen. It was bloody, and sweaty and man those Rugby shorts are short. I guess I'm a Dunedin Highlanders (highlanders because of the Scottish heritage happening down here... I assume) now. They didn't win the game against the Wellington Hurricanes, but it was still such a spectacle. If there's a chance of going to another game while I'm here, I'm going to take the opportunity to search and seek out my future husband... I mean to enjoy the sport. But really it's such a fun time.

We scoped out the Otago Farmers Market at the Railway Station on Saturday morning and tomorrow (Monday) there's a good chance we will be touring the local brewery (probably another wino experience-- I'll have to keep my facial expressions in check and not throw up) and the CHOCOLATE FACTORY TOUR (I'll have to keep my facial expressions in check and be cool ).

You guys know Cadbury Eggs? Like the best chocolate you could get in your Easter basket growing up? THAT FACTORY IS LOCATED HERE IN DUNEDIN AND I MIGHT DIE FROM CHOCOLATE. Yes, I probably will die from chocolate... Nothing else. I'd like my overdose to be simple, to the point and obvious.

Anyways, just a short update. Still way more to see and more to talk about.

Until then,
Katie
