MBA holiday fun: Port Chalmers Seafood Festival


The best thing about doing your MBA in Otago is when you get time off there is always lots of things to do. This weekend we went to the Port Chalmers Seafood Festival with the family and a mate and his wife from the course. Port Chalmers is the port for Dunedin which is a short train ride from the grand old Dunedin railway station. For the festival, they powered up the old tourist train which traveled around the the edge of the harbour - a really nice trip. When we got there we unloaded next to the entry on the road - very cool - my daughter loved it. Once we got there, the food was excellent. I had some beautiful crayfish (lobster), blue cod, smoked salmon and chorizo sausage and enjoyed some churros (Spanish donuts) for desert.

Izzie, my daughter got her face painted like spiderman - much to the chagrin of her mother, she had been playing with boys all weekend. The afternoon was capped off with a boat ride across to the other side of the harbour to Portobello. It was a beautiful calm day so we got to see lots of islands and sealife. By the time we had got on the train to go home we were all happy to head home. Another great day in Dunedin!
