Back from Dunedin

We are back from our trip to Dunedin.
It was fun and it provided us a nice break from our daily frame of mind.
In the city, we ate in cheap but delicious noodle houses that mostly cater to the many students that live in Dunedin and study at the Otago university.

We saw some movies in an alternative art- cinema house and visited the Dunedin Public Art Gallery.
We drove to the peninsula and had a wonderful time viewing the wildlife and birds that inhibits the region.

Back home in Kohukohu the weather is dry but very cloudy, so instead of staining, both of us tackled the mowing of the grass that is growing so fast now.
I Noticed that there are small peaches on our trees.
I picked a wonderful harvest from out vegetable garden of red lettuce, green lettuce, green beans and the sweetest broccoli I ever tasted.
I will make us a large salad for dinner.

The hiking group was in good spirits this morning, cooking breakfast and packing up their gear. We were all a bit disappointed that we didn’t get to hike the scenic route along the southeastern coast, but it was clear now that this typhoon was a massive one. News reports described it as a once in 30 years stor...
