Driving in the drizzle

I spent the morning in Invercargill exploring a bit. My impression - it's a sad, old dirty peeling city in need of a major facelift. Many empty shops too. Or at least city centre was.
I went to their museum but it was closed - something about an earthquake??
It started to drizzle quite heavily then but I found an Automobile museum recommended to me by the internet but also Chris' cousin. I'll do a separate page on that one!
I was thinking of going to Dunedin via the Catlins but there was no real signage to it that I saw plus the weather was dreary so didn't bother. Stayed on highway 1.
Gore was a pretty, well kept happy looking place though.
When I got to Dunedin I went to the Dive shop as I'd been emailing them about a dive tomorrow. The weather is still a bit crappy so their last resort site is the only dive tomorrow. We thought Thursday would be better so we'll see.
Google Lady led me to the Geeky Gecko Backpackers. Settled in there, ordered pizza to be delivered for tea as it's still raining.Read more
