Day 351: Riding up the Coast

With time zone changes, it’s hard to keep up with folks or even know when concert tickets go on sale. Luckily, our New Zealand time zone allowed us to catch the Christmas Day football games. Kieran watched the Chiefs game at 7am local time and then we checked out and located a cafe for the Ravens game!

We found an amazing hotel / cafe / brewery / art house to plug into for the game. The brewed the beer on site and also offered food and coffee. Ravens won with a total blowout.

We needed to drive 4 hours to our next destination so today would be a true road trip day. With an hour left, we stopped in Dunedin for a small walk and stretch. Settled by the Scottish, the town drips with pubs, kelts, and Catholic Churches. They had the cutest little train station and the bushes were trimmed into Celtic symbols. Grabbed more beer and cider from the store as well as local sausage. We drove one more hour to a small little spot (maybe population of 66) where Kieran booked metal containers converted to mini cabins. It was awesome and so warm in our little pod.

We ended the night with Pokémon Puzzle League, HollowKnight, and reading.
