NZ: Dunedin, Moeraki Boulders

After the train arrived at Dunedin, we spent a pleasant day checking out the world's steepest street, Baldwin Street, University of Otago and the Cadbury chocolate factory. No matter what age, I am sure that everyone would enjoy a tour of the factory and also sampling the Cadbury chocolate. The chocolate seems to be a bit more creamy and a bit too sweet for my taste. However it is still a worthwhile stop.

We went up the East coast to the Moeraki Boulders. These are huge spherical rocks along Koekohe Beach. We also stopped by the fairy penguin colonies at Oamaru. There are not as many penguins there as compared to Australia, however we can still see a few of them around. These penguins have elaborate huts compared to the rocks for the Australian ones :p
