Dunedin

Today we headed down from Queenstown to Dunedin, it is the second-largest city in the South Island of New Zealand and was established by the Scottish and is said to be the most Scottish place outside of Scotland but to be honest I didn't see much to indicate this except the crap weather!

On the way down we stopped off at an ice cream shop which sells the biggest ice creams ever, a single scoop was like a triple scoop back home. We arrived in Dunedin at around 2pm and visited the steepest street in the world which is crap, the one in San Fran is much more interesting.

Once we'd checked into the hostel myself, MC and Laura booked onto the wildlife eco tour for the oppertunity to see Yellow Eyed Penguins and Royal Albertros. We weren't disapointed either as we got to see both and had a great laugh. Laura was trying to film the Albertros fly over but I hadn't realised and made a comment about the size of the poop that'd come out of one of those which can be heard on the video, she promptly fell off the rock she was stood on whilst filming. After seeing these massive birds which incidently have a wingspan of over 3 meters we headed off in search of Penguins on the coast.

Now I don't know about you but I'd expect to see a penguin on the beach but as we approached through the field full of sheep we suddenly noticed in the adjacent field a penguin waddling up the hill facing off with a sheep. It was so funny watching them make their way up beach onto the hillside stopping every so often to cool off. We watched from a hut on the edge of the beach and right next to us were some seals, one with a pup, it was unreal how close they were.
