Dunedin

No photos from here at the moment, because the computer did not recognize my photo card for some reason, but I completely fell in love with Dunedin. Not surprising, perhaps, because it has a definite Scottish feel to it (“Dunedin” is the Gaelic word for “Edinburgh”).

I walked around quite a bit, up and down hills, saw the oldest university of New Zealand, Otago, and a very nice mansion from the early 20th century. Seriously, if I can’t live in Wellington, Dunedin is my second choice!

Yesterday afternoon I also went on a wildlife safari out to the Otago Peninsula. We saw albatross babies, sea lions, fur seals and yellow penguins from quite up close – especially the sea lions were only a few metres from us on the beach. It was amazing – but wow, I don’t think I’ve ever experienced such strong wind before, we were literally blown about!

Today I’m leaving Dunedin for Te Anau – hopefully I can upload my photos there. Cheers, darlings! 🙂
