Dunedin - Day 1

#1

Post by david63 »


When I woke this morning I knew that I was not going to enjoy today as I had a 250k drive to do to get to Dunedin and it was raining the proverbial "cats & dogs". By the time that we had had breakfast the rain had eased off somewhat but I still got drowned loading the car.

Eventually we set off and for most of the time the rain was no too bad but when we got close to Dunedin it became torrential, and stayed that way for the rest of the day.

Arriving in Dunedin in the pouring rain was not really the best introduction to the city and trying to find our accommodation was something of a nightmare as I could hardly see the front of the car. Eventually we located where we were staying - now why when it is that when it is pouring down that the location of your room is as far removed from the car park that it can possibly be?

Apart from a quick dash to the supermarkey for more supplies that was it for the day - "rain stopped play"
