Dunedin day 2

March 22, 2008

Wonderful day today which started with a great breakfast; bacon, eggs, toast, juice, fruit and yogurt, and cereal. We talked at breakfast to Louise who is or hostess here. Once we had eaten our fill we set out to visit the Otago Peninsula to see the Royal Albatross nesting sites and the Yellow Eyed Penguin nesting sites. We were toured about at each place with knowledgeable guides and now we know more about each of these birds than we ever knew before. The countryside is amazing, dizzying heights, wind swept hills, open plains and the ocean. On the way back to town we took an alternate route so we saw the harbor/ sea side as well as the Cliffside. Getting lost is no big deal as it just opens up new unexplored avenues. We stopped at a buffet on the way back called Great Taste and it was. Dunedin boasts the world’s steepest street in Baldwin Street, so we had to find it and drive it. I’m here to tell you I’m a believer!
