Trip to Dunedin

In search for a "quake break" we took off for a couple of wonderful days towards the south. Stopped at Oamaru, a very quaint little Victorian town, famous for its heritage buildings and that has a great deal of arts and crafts. They have been nominated one of the capitals for the "Steampunk" movement, born in the 80s, a mix of punk with a Victorian touch...

After that we went to check out the Moeraki Boulders, a crazy group of very rounded stones that I find hard to believe that they are not man made!

And then the lovely town of Dunedin, which welcomed us with lovely people, lovely food and fantastic weather! If only we didn't have a fight with a traffic warden... @#~!!!

There are lots of Art Deco buildings in NZ

French toast with banana and bacon by the seaside

 

So many retro/vintage shops!

This shop was like a fantasy world.. upstairs in an old building

A table I fell in love with

Dress made with film

One doesn't see often a Penguin crossing sign!

Bizarre collection of salt and pepper shakers!

Once a year there is a Victorian festival where the entire town is dressed like this 

Wonderful small puppet theatre
