50: South Island Tour: Part IV: Queenstown to Dunedin (15 Feb 2009)

We thought we'd leave Queenstown early to get a head start on the drive back to Dunedin, but we somehow ended up dragging our heels and did the gondola ride (see part III). We got out of town a bit late, but still managed to make pretty good time getting back to Dunedin. We stopped off at the Shingle Creek Pub for lunch which, if you blink, you'll miss it. It's an amazing little place in the middle of nowhere with a quirky lot working in the bar and kitchen. They live on site so have no real expenses in terms of commuting. Back in Dunedin, we had about 90 minutes before I had to get them to the airport for their flight back to Wellington. We did a whirlwind tour around town, snapping some photos of the old style buildings. Dunedin apparently has a lot of history and is one of the older settlements in New Zealand.
