Dunedin and Otago

This was a day for the exploration of Dunedin.  Again a huge Scots influence with all the familiar names of Edinburgh streets laid out in totally the wrong order on contours which are more like San Francisco.

To the East is the Otago peninsula where there are a variety of threatened species such as this yellow eyed penguin which can be found on certain beaches.  He is reputed to be a bit antisocial and looks it!

The royal albatross is also a native to these parts, but was not at home when we called, which was a bit inconsiderate given the considerable pitching and rolling of the boat at the time.  The sedate sixties have now sampled the Roaring Forties!
