Had some time last Sunday to do some day hiking out on the Otago Peninsula here in Dunedin. The peninsula is indescribable in it's beauty and so many different beaches! The beach we checked out last Sunday is known as Victory Beach due to the shipwreck of the mighty "Victory". You will see some photos of the Victory as it was low tide and you could see part of the ship. Apparently people go diving out here often. Notice the surrounding landscape as well and the baby fur seals! :)
This past week I was sent up to Christchurch for a conference. Had 1 free day to do some exploring so some views of the city as well as the surrounding peninsula. Chrischurch is a city of about 300,000. Quite a flat city in comparison to Dunedin and known as the city of gardens! I also love the picture of the giant Chess set where you will find people daily playing here in the city. I took a ride up the Gondola to get some views of the city and hiked my way back down.
