Mini-Dylan's Tour of the South Island

Today Mini-Dylan and I started a road trip down to Dunedin. I will let you follow our journey as we go and show you some New Zealand countryside along the way. We got as far as Hanmer Springs.

First stop was this place. Bonus point and a chocolate fish if you are the first person to comment and tell me the name of the place and how it got to be there.

The whole trip was very pretty and Mini-Dylan wanted his photo taken along the way.
We were tired when we got to Hanmer so had a lovely soak in the hot pools.

    I have no idea where Mini-Dylan is but just wanted to say how beautiful his surroundings look and what a lucky wee guy he is to be taken on such an interesting trip. I am looking forward to seeing him at the ULearn conference in Christchurch and hope to have my photo taken with him!
    Happy travels,

    Hey Paula

    The Ulearn conference will be great. Miini-Dylan and I have a great time.

    I put another photo of the mystery waterfall there as well which might make it easier to spot.

    See you at the conference.

    Sorry. No chocolate fish. You are close but not close enough for the big prize! Try again.
