Another long drive today from Twizel to the Otago Peninsula by Dunedin, which is also called the Scotland of the South.
We stopped on the way for a photo stop at Lake Aviemore Hydro-electric dam. Then drove onto Oamaru where we booked our motel. On the way we saw the strangest thing ... people made out of straw bales!
Finally we arrived. The last part of the drive was along a very very windy road right next to the water. The view was very pretty and I liked it but Miss Robb had to keep her eyes on the road!
Later that evening we went out again, right to the end of the peninsula because the lady at the motel told us we could see fairy penguins coming ashore at the beach there. It was rather chilly, even more than on Phillip Island, but we did see lots of penguins. One got rather scared by some silly people taking its picture and it ran away right between Miss Robb's legs!!
