Dunedin
The drive from Te Anau to Dunedin took us past agricultural lands. Not fantastic views. And we were driving in wet weather too.
The weather remained wet. The highlight of the day was sighting of Queen Elizabeth moving out of the harbour. A few minutes' view after nearly 2 hours wait in the car along the wharf. And we were not alone. The magnificent cruise ship was anchored for only a few hours on our first day in Dunedin.
Captured the tip of the Otago Peninsula thru my lens while waiting for the cruise ship. The cape is the nesting ground for albatross.
After a day in the Dunedin city visiting the art gallery, we spent the following day back to the nature. Cruising the car through a series of S bends alongside the harbour was quite an experience. It's so windy too. Trying to walk straight at the Albatross Centre was a challenge.
The day ended with us looking at the Pacific Ocean along St Kilda beach.
At last, Blue sky again.
Day 12 - another long driving day from Dunedin to Wanaka. Weather cleared up as we left Dunedin city. On the way we enjoyed a picnic lunch on the shore of Lake Dunstan.
Glad to return to the mountains and lakes again.
