Dunedin is Gaelic for Edinburgh and the Scottish influence is
strong. The railway station there is one of the most
beautiful in the world. The tiles inside were made by
Royal Dalton! |
Just north of Dunedin at Moeraki are the famous boulders.
Here's Mary so you can see how huge these spheres are. |

The boulders are mud balls that have crystallized around some
central particle like a shell or stone. |
As we drove
north through the center, we caught the sunset on Mt. Cook.
That is Cook in the center with the sun shining on its west
face. |

We camped for a couple of days at Lake Tekapo in the center of
the South Island. Its blue waters against the barren, snow
capped peaks really make this a jewel in the middle of the
desert there. |
Somehow we
didn't expect to see this type of scenery in New Zealand, but it
was still inspirational. This is from the top of Mt. John
where there is an observatory. |
