    New Zealand Day 5 - Christchurch to Dune

    March 14, 2025 in New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    Coach day today, fabulous weather & views as we followed the coastal roads & railway line to Dunedin. We stopped at Geraldine mid morning for a coffee break, a small town en route to Oamaru for lunch, a beautiful place with a white limestone quarry, which lots of the buildings were made from.
    We then stopped at Koekohe beach with the Moeraki boulders, gorgeous place before continuing the scenic drive to Dunedin, which has a very strong Scottish heritage & we are having a Scottish meal with a Scottish ceremony tonight 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥃
