Dunedin, South Island — New Zealand
The Otago Peninsula was our destination today. We had lovely scenery; YEPs (yellow-eyed penguins) and blue penguins at Penguin Place, a conservation reserve; and northern royal albatross at the Albatross Centre. Staying close to Dunedin meant we could also enjoy our “backyard” at Blackhead Cottage.
Photos of the wildlife will have to wait until a later date. In the meantime, a few postcards.
Our day started with a walk up the hill behind our cottage for a glimpse of the headland.
Our day continued with a drive around Otago Peninsula.
Otago Harbour with Dunedin in the distance — from Highcliff Road.
Our day ended with a walk up the hill behind our cottage for a
glass of wine and golden cliffs overlooking the South Pacific Ocean.
After a long driving day to the Catlins yesterday, we enjoyed the slower pace of our day today.
