It was great meeting you in Twizel, and many thanks for your teaching Lesley. My phone for some reason didn't save your email address hence this message! When you get to Dunedin, the following places are worth a look.
1) Saturday Farmers Market (8am to 12:30 every Saturday, opposite the Train station). Also look for the pleasant bakery within the train station.
2) Otago Museum (includes live exotic butterfly exhibition)
3) Otago Peninsula (especially the albatross colony)
4) Port Chambers
5) Botanic Gardens and Avery
6) St Clairs beach - if possible try to go at low tide
Places to eat:
1. Two Chefs - European $$$
2. Jitzu - Japanese $ (but excellent quality)
3. Saigon Van - Vietnamese $$
4. The Good Earth Cafe
5. The Good Oil Cafe
6. AllPress (does great upmarket toasted sandwiches)
I hope this is helpful. Have a great and safe trip.
