Downtown Dunedin

We head back into Dunedin this morning to see some of the things we never managed to see yesterday.  First up is the public artgallery which although small has a great selection of modern and contemporary Kiwi art.

We then pop up to the Flagstaff memorial at the top of the city for lunch and to enjoy the views over Dunedin.  We are impressed to see a lump of rock from Edinburgh Castle which has been gifted from Edinburgh.

After lunch we head into the botanic gardens and spend a couple of hours having a good wander through the lovely gardens.

 

Rather than head on further up the coast today we decide to go onto the Otago Peninsula and stay the night in Portobello.  The Otago Peninsula is very pretty, rocky and unspoilt and our campsite is very quiet – a  change from busy Dunedin. Unsure on what we fancy for dinner we pop down into Portobello to see what’s on offer.  The 1908 restaurant has just started doing an early evening menu and we opt for fish and chips (Mr M) and a chicken, brie and cranberry toastie (Mrs M) – back to Betty after a most enjoyable ‘high tea' in Portabello’.
