Jaffa Race

Five. 
Four. 
Three. 
Two.
One:



What do you do at a week long chocolate festival? Obviously you should drop 30,000 jaffas (small candy coded chocolates made by Cadbury) down the steepest street in the world. Duh.


The Jaffa Race is a charitable event. Each jaffa is numbered (jaffa numbers are sold for 2 dollars each) and the winning jaffa wins like 1,000 dollars in grocery money. 


My jaffa did not win, unfortunately for me. However, you really haven't lived until you've witnessed 30,000 chocolate balls rolling down a hill. Also, the experience of climbing (yes, climbing) the world's steepest street is also a must have experience. Experience. Seriously, look at the angle:


And of course, the best part about risking premature heart attack by hauling ass up the world's steepest street is the view. Unfortunately for you, these pictures hardly compare to what Dunedin is really like. And I can't even describe it to you because its so unreal for me, and its actually reality for me, if that makes any sense to you at all.
