The castle and All Blacks!
We started our Saturday out with visiting the Dunedin farmer’s market held at the Railway station. It’s a cute little market with local bakeries, farmers, and cheeseries. We had some chocolate crepes for breakfast, but they didn’t quite compare to the heavenly crepes in Arrowtown from our trip to Queenstown. We then spent the afternoon at the Larnach Castle on the Otago Peninsula. Such an amazing view!
But the biggest news of the day is the night watching the All Blacks play Wales for the last time in Carisbrook. I went with some of the girls from the pharmacy school who happened to have an extra ticket and it was tons of fun! The rugby game started out a little slow, but the All Blacks came through with a great win.
An official shout-out is due to Cori Friezen for the great suggestion of the hand and feet warmers. It was a clear night and it actually turned out to not be too cold, but I had already put on the feet warmers. It felt like a had an electric blanket in my shoes and I stayed nice and toasty all night! It was amazing how quiet the stadium was unless the All Blacks had just scored. So different from American football! I know it's a little hard to see, but the All Blacks just got a try (like a touchdown).
