... ). But it was alright cause we got some Domino's Pizza, yummy, for $7!, and then went back to Becca's place and watched two new episodes of Grey's Anatomy, which was very very exciting, let me tell you. They're far behind here, and I was disappointed. ...
We see an albatross!

Chocolate and Beer
What a beautiful city!! I really enjoyed my time in Dunedin! The whole city centers around this octagon of streets, called 'The Octagon'. There’s lots to see and do here, and even if you only have a short time, you could easily walk around ...
Queenstown - Dunedin
... due to the rain, namely the 3hr LOTR horse trekand handgliding) we were back on Magic and off the Edinburgh of NZ, Dunedin. After a relatively short bus ride (5hrs) we arrived in a rather scuzzy, outdated hostel (manor House - not recommended!) so we ...
I Shall Call It Mini-Edinburgh
I've found a city in New Zealand that I could certainly live in: Dunedin. It's basically the celtic name for Edinburgh, and like its namesake in Scotland, it's a really nice place to be, and for me the most liveable city I've yet visited in the country. ...

We Get Sandy

... , we reden het Otago Peninsula op, allemaal smalle wegen langs afgronden, heerlijk. Maar het uitzicht was prachtig, ondanks de mist. Dunedin ligt aan een baai, omringd door heuvels. De eerste stop was het Royal Albatross Centre, de enige plek ter wereld ...
Te Anau to Dunedin via Lumsden, Mandeville & Gore
... as it was only 2.4km. In fact the walk involved climbing a steep hill and then dropping down the other side into Dunedin itself (meaning also a steep climb in return). As rain was now looking very likely we decided to drive down into the city ...

Even the streets are the same as Edinburgh
