On the Road to Dunedin

On the Road in New Zealand near Milford Sound

After our Milford Sound nature cruise, we took the Jucy Van across the breadth of New Zealand.

Milford - Dunedin

The winding road through mountains was really scenic.

The road flattened out a bit and then the sheep farms began to appear everywhere. New Zealand is a major producer of wool.

We stopped for coffee and snack and I also spotted a Gator fan (University of Florida).

Dunedin is a pretty university town (University of Otago). The colonial buildings around the city center are very photogenic.

We found a campa park just north of town and settled in for the night. If you look at a map, Dunedin is very far south and the weather gets pretty chilly. A couple times in the middle of the night, one of us had to wake up and turn on the van to get a little heat going as the temperature outside approached freezing.
