Omarau to Dunedin

Dress up time! My favorite thing about Omarau is all the cool old clothes they wear. Omarau is New Zealands steam punk capital.

Hipsy and Purple sure know how to dress up!

On Thursday night Mum and Dad went on a date leaving Csalym and I babysitting the boys. It went really well and with a bit of bribery, “Big ice-creams tomorrow!” we managed to put them to bed without a fight.

On Saturday I tried to take Lettie to the White-stone Museum, unfortunately we were to young to go by ourselves. This made me really upset and powerless because I think that we are completely mature enough. We did get to see the Americas cup pass by on its tour of New Zealand.

After that fun filled weekend we moved on to all day bay where we spent three nights playing, schooling and resting.

On Wednesday morning we left all day bay and headed for Moeraki boulders where we parked the truck and went to trotters gorge for a bush walk. I didn’t want to walk up the hill at first, but when I reached the top the views were great and it definitely worth the walk.

Weta experience! Opps I mean what an experience! I laughed in the face of danger and screamed in the face of Weta! After that we drove to Dunedin where we parked the night at the beach.

The next day we woke up nice and early and zoomed off to the oval for our interview with the breeze. It went swimmingly well even though we missed hearing it on the radio.

After the interview we went on a tour through the Cadbury chocolate factory.

I thoroughly suggest going there, it ends with a chocolate waterfall! After that we were joined by Tewai and Lettie at the Dunedin Museum, exploring a new exhibition: The Permian period, creatures before Dinosaurs!

Well that’s the end of that wonderful week. See you next Weekend Dunedin.
