On Tuesday we went to the Otago Museum in Dunedin, exploring the city and the steepest street in the world. We camped again just outside of Dunedin, almost directly on the beach.

The next morning we made a short stop at a small chocolate factory in Dunedin and then headed north to Mount Aspiring National Park. On Thursday we visited some waterfalls, the Blue Pools, and the Tauparikaka Marine Reserve on the coast. The landscape here reminded us a bit of Africa.
