chocolate chocolate chocolate (too much chocolate)

My last two days in Dunedin are spent just checking out the city - I explore the Settlers Museum, the Otago Museum - which has a great exhibition dedicated to Maori culture, with a reconstructed Marae (meeting House),and lots of carvings, weaponry carved from pounamau (greenstone/jade) and intricately woven clothes on display.
I also go on the Cadbury Factor Tour, mainly because it's raining and it involves chocolate (not fairtrade, but to be honest that didn't even occur to me till after I'd handed over my money to the evil corporate machine etc. etc.). It's interesting enough, and there a lots of free samples (free, if you discount paying for the actual tour, though I choose to ignore this and focus on the FREE - when you're backpacking free is key).

I like Dunedin, but it's COLD. I'm looking forward to heading further north where maybe I won't have to wear all my clothes at once to keep warm... :)
