15 degrees, windy/sunny/cloudy
Still very strong winds this morning as we drove up SH1 towards Dunedin which we reached at 11ish. We took a drive up to the end of the Otago Peninsula where there was an Albatross colony. It was about a 20km drive round a very winding narrow coast road, a lot of which had slipped away and was undergoing repair.
When we got to the colony they wanted $120 (about £60) to go in to see 3 Albatross sitting on nests and MAYBE some flying, so we decided to give our bank account a rest and went out to the lookout point close by to see if any were flying around. Not an dickie bird to be seen of the Albatross variety, quite a few gulls and a couple of seals but that was it. So we drove back on the high road across the hills and found Dunedin town centre to look at some ‘old’ buildings. ‘Old’ in New Zealand means about 90 years.
Dunedin was quite a nice town with a lovely train station and cathedral and worth a wander around for an hour or so.
