Nothing like a grey Dunedin Sunday to take a kid to the brink.Di Mackeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00273089782589416134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19028456.post-59732724929425143782008-11-18T16:08:00.000+01:002008-11-18T16:08:00.000+01:00look at all that water around that town! wow, look...look at all that water around that town! wow, looks gorgeous!furiousBallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11158133736035219163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19028456.post-65359005960261456752008-11-18T13:36:00.000+01:002008-11-18T13:36:00.000+01:00A pleasure, Lydia :)And Peter, so you found my hom...A pleasure, Lydia :)<BR/><BR/>And Peter, so you found my hometown ... Mosgiel, town of the Hollywood-like sign. It used to be quite nice to sit on top of that hill and look out over Mosgiel, chatting with a friend and all that.<BR/><BR/>And you found Baldwin Street. At different times, I had 2 friends who lived on it. One was close to the top ... walking up was kind of nasty if unfit.<BR/><BR/>The peninsula, that's the love of my life. I was in Broad Bay and on the edge of it, with my sea kayak that was really my harbour kayak :)<BR/><BR/>Te Anau, stunning stunning scenery but darling one, you would last about 1 day there. It's a frontier town and very very very small. And rain ... it comes down in bucket loads, beautiful but ... remind me to tell you next time we meet up :)Di Mackeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00273089782589416134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19028456.post-21681385998285403102008-11-18T13:10:00.000+01:002008-11-18T13:10:00.000+01:00I've always been quite curious about the place whe...I've always been quite curious about the place where you grew up Di - its elaborate cultural scene was a pleasant surprise.<BR/><BR/>Google came up with a number of even more surprising images (I was already in love with the stunning natural beauty of the Otago peninsula):<BR/><BR/>http://deboramasweblog.blogspot.com/2004/06/clean-wholesome-nudity.html totally stunned me though: I mean, Dunedin, NZ is known for its traditional rugby, and this looked kind of unusual :-)<BR/><BR/>http://funny-forwards-jokes.blogspot.com/2008/03/6-most-unusual-roads-in-world.html<BR/>also made me smile:<BR/>Dunedin is listed as having one of the world's most unusual roads.<BR/><BR/>And obviously, there's the 'Hollywood' sign showing that the locals are quite proud of their town:<BR/><BR/>http://www.newzealand.com/travel/destinations/regions/dunedin-coastalotago/dunedin-towns.cfm/nodeid/140.html<BR/><BR/>But I digress: the images of Milford Sound near Te Anau totally stunned me. <BR/><BR/>If all that breath-taking natural beauty wasn't located on the other side of the planet I'd move, especially on a chilly wet day like this in urban Antwerp.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19028456.post-47353397747595674442008-11-18T08:49:00.000+01:002008-11-18T08:49:00.000+01:00How interesting!
