Went on to Omaru, Steampunk Museum & Victorian Precinct.

We didn't visit the museum but stopped for a drink at a lovely old Victorian pub. 

I tried the penny-farthing, no mean feat getting seated even with a step ladder.

We drove along the Esplanade to check on the penguin colony but it was too early to see penguins, just lots of seals resting on the rocks. Not sure how the penguins make it up to the nesting boxes without being massacred. Parked in the tourist park on the Esplanade, when we checked in we were warned to be careful for penguins if walking around after dark, also that they can be very noisy. We walked up to a brew pub for supper. 

 on the way back were lucky enough to see a few penguins at the carpark gate but only managed one pic.

Thurs Apr 27 – Took the beach road to Kakanui, onto Moeraki Boulders, round boulders on the beach, some are broken apart which exposes what looks like seams of resin. Fine & jail for tampering with the boulders.

 Followed coastal road (scenic route) to Dunedin.
