Despite Tim having a stinking cold, we drove down to Dunedin for the long weekend (Queen's Birthday) and breaking with tradition, we checked into a luxury apartment, complete with double hydrotherapy spa bath. We had been planning this jaunt for a long while, as we only have showers in our own apartment and going more than a year without a bath was proving to be irksome.
The weather forecast for the weekend was for a "big chill", and indeed we have been having some unseasonably cold weather over the last month.
On the way down we stopped for lunch on a beach, just south of
Oamaru and revisited
Shag Point where there's a resident yellow-eyed pengiuns, NZ fur seals and, as indicated by the name, plenty of spotted and black shags.
On the Sunday, we drove out to the
Otago Peninsula to see some albatross.
