Exploring the city of Dunedin

Dunedin is the second largest city in the southern island of New Zealand. Taking some time to "chill", we set off to see all this city had to offer. Probably the well known thing in Dunedin is the church. The First Church of Otago was established by immigrants from Scotland. Still a functioning church, it stands at the heart of Dunedin. 




However beautiful an old pipe organ is, I still cannot bring myself to appreciate the sound of one



Being the BIG fan of chocolate that I am, I had to stop and take a picture of Willy Wonka's factory. Just kidding. Our hotel was across the road from the Cadbury factory. Although we were unable to go on a tour of the factory, we definitely enjoyed the Cadbury products that were available everywhere.



Here are some more sights around Dunedin.





Rugby is quite popular in New Zealand; "quite" being an understatement. Above are my cousins, giving their best Haka war cry.


While walking through a covered walkway, we noticed a drawing on the path. Upon further inspection and a specific standing position, we realized the drawing was 3D! Cool, huh!?


A funny-looking bike

My favorite part of Dunedin was the train station. Still operational, the railway departs daily traveling through the rugged and beautiful Taieri Gorge.
