Dunedin Test Ride

We arrived in Dunedin yesterday and built our bikes. Today we dropped off my bike at a bike store for a few adjustments, roamed around downtown while waiting and then went off for a test ride (including testing the waterproofing on our rain gear!).

Touristy highlights of Dunedin:
- New Zealand's 6th largest city at ~127,000 people
- Settlers Museum that describes Dunedin from its original Maori times, the first European influences (whalers), the next European influences (missionaries), the gold rush, Victorian times...all the way through to the early 2000s
- beautiful train station 

- Cadbury chocolate factory (though we didn't take the tour)
- Baldwin St, the world's steepest street, which we did not bike up or even walk our bikes up

    BTW, how was your picture taken, it looked a lot better than a selfie.

    Sat.Jan. 28 will be new year's day on the lunar calendar. The Chinese Zodiac then will be the Rooster, we are presently in the year of the Monkey. Your pinkish red helmet is just auspiciously well-timed.
