On the road!

Today is our 6th day on the road. We have come from Nelson, down the wild west coast, and now are in Dunedin, on the east coast. Today we have been driving on straight roads, and are seeing the agricultural side of NZ. Sheep, sheep, sheep and more sheep. We celebrated NZ lamb day today, and had lamb chops with fresh potatoes, fresh corn on the cob, salad and wine. We are camped in a small cabin in a campsite on the edge of Dunedin, with a 2 minute walk from the ocean. We had a bit of rain while we were making supper today, but that was no hardship, as these facilities in NZ are truly amazing. The "kitchen" for the campsites have stoves, microwaves, this one has a fridge and freezer, tables and chairs and everything is indoors. Everybody cooks and cleans up in the kitchen, and it's a neat place to meet people from around the world.
Yesterday we were at Milford Sounds on the east coast, and we did a boat tour. The scenery was spectacular!! We spent two nights in a most interesting campground. It had been the married living quarters for the men digging a tunnel from the rest of NZ to Milford Sound in the 1930's. Unfortunetly, they hit water, the tunnel digging ended, until the 1950's when it restarted, and was finished in the 1960's. The cabin we were in was old, had two bedrooms with bunkbeds, and a kitchen in the center. Though the cooking was done in a central kitchen, using a generator for electricity. Lights were turned out by 10:30. That was ok by us, as we were tired, and there were LOTS of black flies. None here in Dunedin!!!
Tomorrow we tour Dunedin and area, and as I am writing from an internet cafe, and my time is almost out, and this is expensive, I am going to end this post, and hopefully write more soon. At another expensive cafe!!!
