January 21 Dunedin, New Zealand

After sailing all night we arrived at Port Chalmers around 8 am. The city of Dunedin is about 7 miles from this port and again, we pre-booked for a tour of the city.

It is keep left in New Zealand and Australia. If we have to survive as pedestrians we have to learn to look right, then left, and right again before crossing the streets. Luckily, most of their cities are not as populated as most cities elsewhere in the world...and traffic is consequently light and more importantly, less dangerous.

I took this shot from inside our tour bus on our way to Larnach castle.

Those tiny mounts looked like islets...maybe they are considered as such.

Nice places, now I want to go to New Zealand and Australia hehehe, I went to cruise 2 years ago but it's a Hawaiian cruise probably if I retire (maybe 25 yrs from now hahaha)I will try Australia. Which one do you prefer?

Between Hawaii and Australia-New Zealand? My first taste of cruising was Hawaii and I am biased in favor of it.
