We arrived in Dunedin on Feb. 19. Settlers -many Scottish- came here in 1861 to search for gold in Tuapeka River Gully. Today the Scottish heritage still holds. We arrived and entered the Dunedin’s gorgeous and impressive train station to take a train ride along the coast where the gold miners had traveled to look for gold on the Taeri Gorge Railway.\u00a0 In the afternoon we walked about town. There was a bagpipe competition happening which was very fun to watch. We visited the amazing art museum in the heart of downtown. Last stop was the Cadbury Chocolate factory where we spent all the New Zealand money we had left!<\/p>\n

Dunedin Railway Station is a jewel in the country's architectural crown. Designed by George Troup, the station is the fourth building to have served as Dunedin's railway station. It earned its architect the nickname of "Gingerbread George".<\/p><\/div>\n
