New Zealand Road Trip Day 5 - To Dunedin : Oamaru Heritage District - Moeraki Boulders - University of Otago - Baldwin Street - Tunnel Beach

In the early morning, the temperature outside is very cold as it is raining in the early morning. We plan to wake up at 7:30am but end up wake up at 8am. Then we rush to cook our breakfast.

This church quite beautiful


At 11am, we end our trip at Oamaru and depart to the next station which is Moeraki Boulders which took around an hour drive.

At the Moeraki Boulders, there are two way to get to the beach, one is through the Cafe which have to pay $2 per person, another is far away from the round rocks which may need to walk a quite far distance. We spend around half hour there as we saw the weather is getting cloudy and going to rain soon.

Then we continue out journey to Dunedin. We reached the town around 2pm, then we have our lunch at Flying Squid which is a very famous Fish n Chips shop for university student in this town.

Then we visited the University of Otago which is the oldest university in New Zealand. The main building look very ancient like a castle which is good for phototaking.
So huge that need to use wide angle Gopro to capture

Next at 5pm, we visit the steepest street in the world which is the Baldwin street. We walked all the way to the top. The steepness is really steep. When the car driving down the street, i think they couldn't see the road as the last few part of the road is not that steep and then suddenly become so steep.
Baldwin Street, it is really steep

Play with the steepest street in the world.

Almost fall down??

Next we went to the Tunnel Beach at 6pm, after walk for a half an hour on the track, we reached the amazing view of the cliff. We also went through the tunnel to a beach, the view at the beach is like a faity tale. We also went on to the cliff to take some photos.When we walked back quickly, we were so cold as the wind is so strong. However, the slope is quite steep that we couldn't go back fast.
Amazing view!

Tunnel to the beach

Can you see me?

Lost?

There is a man face, can you see it?

So many sea gulls





After that, we have to find a place to have our dinner. I only found a car park near the beach which have toilet in the Dunedin town. Then we just have simple tuna sandwish and milo as dinner..

At 9pm, we shopped at the Pak n Save for the grocery and meal for the next two days as we are going to Catlins as i think there don't have market there.
But so many cheap chips


That night we stay at the Thomas Burn Car Park. The car park is full of camper van and the people sleep in the car. There have the portable toilet and a tap water which is safe to drink
Free campsite and it's full! Lucky I got the last car park!
