On Wednesday, we checked out of the hotel and headed to Dunedin, a large (for New Zealand) city located at the bottom of the South Island. We were planning on taking a long scenic route along the coast, but the locals insisted it wasn't very scenic, so we took a shortcut inland, which still took about five hours. We stopped for lunch at Oliver's in Clyde. Clyde is a small village that was once a large gold mining town. It's now very sleepy and quaint, and has some interesting old buildings from the boom times. The restaurant was a nice old stone building where we were the only customers, and Somchai thought this was the best food of the whole vacation.
