27th – 30th March. CENTRAL OTAGO.
This is a new land for us. The Central Rail Trail, schist walls, schist cottages, quaint towns, Clutha River & dams.
It amazed us seeing how many people still live in the little cottages constructed in the 1800s. The Rail Trails have brought massive business to the whole region & we saw many trailers loaded up with hire bikes ferrying riders from place to place.
We were not tempted into going on the trails ourselves as what we were seeing from our home as we drove along was hard to beat. Our home also comes with coffee.

THE WINDING ROADS 
Yes, there are some gorgeous, quaint cottages down there
These photos bring back memories from exactly a year ago when James and I visited the area during out “wedding anniversary” weekend away. Cool old buildings in Cromwell and James was right at home at Highland Raceway =)
