To Dunedin

Skry and I headed to Dunedin for the weekend, about a five hour drive south of Christchurch. We didn't have any particular reason except that it is a long time since we had a break together, so why not!

Since there had been lots of snow and ice down south during the past week (and in fact the road we needed to take into Dunedin was closed for a day or two because it just wasn't passable), we expected it to be cold. That didn't stop me packing a picnic! Egg and onion rolls, peanuts, yoghurt, and a Thermos full of boiling water for our mugs of soup made for a very enjoyable break in a little spot called Glenavy.


I enjoyed the view from our picnic table.



When we got to Dunedin we headed straight for our apartment. Rather than stay in a hotel or a B&B, we booked a studio suite in the Chapel Apartments, which are build in an old church (or chapel, I suppose) about five minutes' walk from the Octagon and with private parking. They were pretty nice inside too! Pity I didn't think to take some photos before we had trashed the place :)



I'd definitely stay here again if we were back in Dunedin - the location is so convenient, and the place was very well equipped. There was even a laundry area with a washing machine and tumble dryer, and free wireless broadband. Fantastic.
