Catlins Coast to Dunedin

 


I don't usually like protein bars or spackle bars, as I call them - too gummy and nasty. This however was a total exception.  Has anyone seen them in the US?


Our rist stop this morning was the Cathedral Caves.


What is more beautiful than the sea?  And the sound of the waves crashing against the shore is one of the more magical sounds of God's universe. 



When  was in college at FSU, I was fortunate enough to tag along with a friend who was an expert on Florida's Caves.  A Spelunker extrodinaire.  I have loved caves ever sense.


From the inside looking out.


These sea lettuces were the scary dreams of horror movies.




Dennis got coffee at this quirky little place.  



Shortly afterwards, we stopped at little mini-market.  Dennis got a chicken cranberry handpie and I got a thai chicken handpie.  Might be a lunch on the road but it was darn good.


Our next stop was "Lighthouse Viewpoint."  What is not to like about a lighthouse?



I think lighthouse have captured the imagination of generations gone by and the hearts of yuppies, guppies, and even future generations.  



This view was many feet don and yet I wanted to slide down and see what was in this rock.



Okay, 3 year old potty humor but we had some laughs over KaKa point.


Our hotel tonight was in Dunedin.  I love street art. This was particularly clever.  We had dinner at "Lone Star." Originally, I was not thrilled with the idea.  I had Veggie Quesadillas and Dennis had a chicken burrito.  


My favorite wine (in the U. S.) is Whitehaven, a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.  So now I can say that I had a Whithaven in New Zealand.  It was even better here! As is all things on Vacation!

Okay, this is a bit of a quick posting but I had two to write today.  So forgive me.

Love to you all!
