Final Post!

And so this blog comes to an end… It’s been a long six weeks over which I have learnt many new ways to look at my activity! I have thoroughly enjoyed going out for coffee as much as I did and don’t think I’ll be cutting down on these outings anytime soon! In NZ we really are spoilt for choice when it comes to places to go out with friends for a good coffee! There are more coffee roasters per capita in NZ than anywhere else in the world! A NZ tourist website that I stumbled across explained how over the last couple of decades NZ has undergone a coffee revolution. This is because many Kiwis have become judges of the wonderful drink. This in turn has increased the standards and quality of coffee in NZ as well as the popularity. Many new cafes have popped up all over the country, so as I said before, we really are spoilt for choice for coffee destinations! Here’s the website if you want to have a bit more of a read:

This coffee culture that we have in our country has added to my experience of going out for coffee over the past six weeks and I think that it has made my experiences more exciting and easy to carry out! I would encourage you, if you have the funds, to grab some friends and make time to go on your own social coffee outings and explore the many cafes in Dunedin!
