Oamaru to Dunedin via Moeraki

After leaving Oamaru we headed for Moeraki. The destination for lunch was the iconic Fleur's Place. We stopped off at the Moeraki Boulders, which while interesting were unspectacular, but the beach is beautiful, and then headed to Fleurs for an amazing kaimoana lunch. Surrounded by water on three sides, the homey little restaurant produces the most spectacular seafood in generous portions. The bill was fairly hefty, but it was worth it for every delectable seafoody bite. We had clams, fish, mussels and eel  - fresh caught and home smoked - damn good. We then made our way down the coast to Dunedin. The destination was the Forsyth Barr Stadium for the Hurricanes and Highlanders game, preceded by a drink at a Bar in the Octagon and a catch up with friends. Our first 'freedom camp' stop was an industrial complex walking distance to the stadium which was perfect. Maybe not so much the next morning with the machinery starting up at 7.30am and a few dull heads...we made our way to the marina carpark for brekky then off to hunt for coffee.
