After charging our computers’ and our own batteries in
Alexandra, Mark and I drove to the east coast of New Zealand's South Island
again. From Palmerston, we made a slight detour to the north, before following the coastline southwards
with our
rented camper. Along the way, we stopped to see a few interesting
sights. Before spending the night on a parking lot in the city Dunedin, we
explored the rugged Otago Peninsula. Here are some of the images we captured.

Amazing that you were able to get that close to the Fur Seal!
ReplyDeleteLoved revisiting Dunedin and Otago through your lens. Your shot of the church at sundown was especially brilliant!
We never did make it to Lovers Leap...I thought the Captain might push me over :-)
Gorgeous pics Liesbet! I love those boulders, we stopped there on the drive home after our wedding and waded out to take pictures on top of the ones in the water... I ended up going swimming in my dress
