New Zealand Small Towns and Small Roads
Sunday, June 27, 2010 at 1:31PM We are off on the long road trip around the South Island of New Zealand. Very beautiful . . . a little fog . . . and a little brilliant sunshine.
Some of the oldest life known on Earth: two billion year old "boulders" made by single celled "animals."
The fog and mist began to lift in the afternoon.
Green, cold, and beautiful.
Far down the South Island on the small Highway 93.
3C degrees cold. 45 degrees south latitude.
Small towns (Dunedin) in all their former glory . . . under giant skies.
Steampunk HQ? Oh . . . . Victorian era inspsired steam-powered dystopian sci-fi that gained popularity in the 1980s. Good article about this 'movement' HERE.
Every single town we passed through had a WWI monument to the town's war dead.
You can buy your booze in bulk in New Zealand!
A touch of Europe on the 'other side of the world.'
On the very bottom of the South Island (the town of Bluff).
You are here, Bluff, New Zealand.
The Victoria Railway Hotel (est. 1893) in Invercargill . . . our hotel for tonight.
