We've been home a week now but I mentioned that I would occasionally do some more posts of our travels in NZ and this is one of those posts.
The last travelogue post was about our time visiting Invercargill and Bluff. We then travelled to Dunedin, a busy and bustling city with a lot of interesting history. It is also a 'University city' with the University of Otago there. One thing we noted on this visit was the difficulty in finding somewhere to park the car but maybe this just seemed to be a problem after those quieter places we had visited :-) such as Te Anau and Wanaka. Arriving in Dunedin in the early afternoon, we just had a look around that first day.
And the following photos are taken inside the station...
Now these are some other photos taken on the outside of the station building...
This is the view looking across the road from the station...
If you look closely you can see a cylindrical building...that's another view of the Cadbury factory. We didn't bother to go on a factory tour this time but DsD1 did and she told us that unlike the Cadbury factory in Tasmania, in this one you can still walk around the factory on the tour.
And here is a photo taken of one of the busy streets...this one had lots of cafes, bars and restaurants which were all very busy on that Saturday afternoon. (But Knit World was closed by the time we got there)
In the next post that I write about Dunedin I will tell you all about a lookout that we went to which had great views of the city.

The next photos were taken at the front of the beautiful old railway station...
  
This photo below is taken at the street behind the station...

And the following photos are taken inside the station...

| I took a photo of these columns at the front of the station because the dark stone reminded me of Edinburgh |
