Dunedin

A strange city (formerly New Edinburgh, Dunedin is
the original Gaelic name for that city) with the Octagon providing Scottish
looking buildings, it also has the steepest street in the world and the most
photographed building in NZ (how do they know?) the railway station. Murray ran
up the steepest street and wasn't even that much out of breath - well
Caroline was impressed..
The city has a brewery but sadly the outside pump
only provides the spring water that makes the beer (tourists take an incredible
million litres a year).
We are in heaven (thanks to Cherie) as we
were shown before we left Auckland a menu for a pizza take away that does a full
menu including gluten free bases and to our delight found one of the chain here
in Dunedin - deep joy descended as we had pizza takeaway for the first
time in about 2 years.
