New Dunedin is the Celtic name for Edinburgh. The town was settled primarily by a group of
Scots. It is technically the 6th
largest city in the world with only 250,000 inhabitants. This happened because the town wanted a big
number of representatives in the New Zealand Parliament so they moved the city
limits out 100 miles. Their claim to
fame is threefold: (1) The steepest street in the world (see picture); (2) A
railway station that is architecturally unusual (see picture); and (3) The
largest university in New Zealand with 25,000 students. We are still on the south island for two more
days. New Zealand is really an inviting
place. They love Americans and make us
feel welcome. The topography in the
south island is similar to Scotland with rolling hills, green grass and
thousands of sheep.
Merry Christmas to you!
