Road Trip

We woke up early in the morning to do a final pack up and to make some sandwiches for the road trip. We left a little after schedule, only 45 minutes later. Unfortunately it was a horribly ugly day and there was rain the whole way, we did manage to find a lovely spot to look out over the all be it rainy ocean while enjoying our sandwiches and juice. 

It was a long drive to Dunedin, around 6 hours. The first part of the drive was quite easy, straight going and what not. Once arriving in the Otago region we were surprised to see tons and tons of hills, which are not the new manual drivers forte. 

We had a little trouble with one particular hill and quite possibly rendered 5th gear unusable, thank goodness we bought the heavy insurance. 

We arrived in Dunedin and found a hostel which we are still calling home, Penny's Backpackers, although it is a fair walk from the city centre the room has a very fair price and comes with a television (which is great with all this rain). And the beauty of this hostel is we will only have to check out of our room once and then we can go back to it!
