Dunedin....Largest city in Southern Hemisphere

Okay...not to be believed right?  But it is true...only because Dunedin is the largest city by "area"!!  But before we get to Dunedin...there were a number of sights to see after we left the Mt. Cook area....for example....



 One of the most interesting buildings in Dunedin was the train station....I have found that to be the case in a number of European cities and it also holds true here in New Zealand....take a look....


On the journey today we visited some of the large hydro lakes supplying power to the North as well as South Islands.  The power is converted from AC to DC and then back to AC....





The lakes that fed into these dams included Bernmore.....


I guess the oceans of the world are a calling for most anyone....and it was a wonderful sight to see the Pacific as seen below...




And....the highlight picture of my day.....a hotel on wheels.  The hotel trailer is used at night...bunk beds all around.  During the day the group travels in a bus. this is almost like being in the circus....what...a life!!!
