After 4 days using Christchurch as our base, we then drove south to Dunedin. It is 360km from Christchurch and the journey took us slightly more than 5 hours. Just managed to arrive on time to visit a Cadbury factory before calling it a day.
Our main target at Dunedin was the Natures Wonders located in the Otago Peninsular (1 hour drive). The weather was quite lousy (wet & very cold) & we turned out to be the only customer that braved through the weather to visit this place at that time. The service was very-very friendly and as the guide told us..... the lousy weather is no fun for humans but a paradise for the wild.... among the wild animals that we managed to see are cormorant birds, fur seals, a blue penguin & a yellow-eyed penguin. Let me that you something.... seeing a penguin in the wild is more fun than seeing many in the zoo! The search & the hiding (& keeping the boys quiet) to locate a penguin was thrilling!
