Dunedin....

Our first off-the-boat excursion was at Port Chambers.  We boarded a bus and drove through the lovely town of Dunedin (pronounced Due-nee-din). It took about an hour to get to the other side of the bay to a wildlife preserve area.

Then we crawled onto an 8-wheeled vehicle.  Think a 4-wheeler, times two, that went off-road, times two.  We went straight up a large hill, through mud, over craters, and back down again. I'm predicting sore muscles and bruises.

Saw a natural breeding ground of the New Zealand Fur Seal with loads of pups.  Also went to a Yellow-eyed Penguin  habitat, but they were elusive today.

*Apologies on a previous post... One of our dinner companion's name is Mike, not Mark.  His Australian accent made it difficult to decipher.  The first night we sat down, they said WE had an accent.  Lol
