Te Anau New Years

For New Years Eve, we spent the day doing a lot of driving.  We drove from Oamaru to Te Anua with a stop in Dunedin to see the famous Cadbury Chocolate Factory.  The factory tours were so full that we couldn't get on one, so we just had a look around and bought enough chocolate to last the rest of the trip.  It was the best deal that we got in New Zealand at only $5.

After checking in to our hotel, we decided that we would have a slow paced New Years Eve celebration.  We brought back to the hotel some dinner, watched Austin Powers, and shared a bottle of Riesling.  At about 11:30 we walked to the lake to see the fireworks and view the bonfire in the community park.  It was a fun night, and we went to bed pretty earlier, which was good since we had to get up at 6:30 for our tour of Doubtful Sound.
