... some penguins. This particular penguin viewing place is committed to making sure penguins are in as natural a habitat as possible. So all viewing is done from trenches around ground level, so that it doesn’t disturb penguins too much. At this time of year, the penguins aren’t very active, as they are keeping their eggs warm because ...

... festival and Portobello (small town outside of Dunedin) hosted the festival Sunday. After running in the rain and just making the bus, we spent the 20 minute ride phoning the albatross center, wildlife cruise, etc. and were disappointed to hear that all tours were full for the day. We decided to go to the albatross center anyway and have a look around on our own, just walk around. A nice lady at Portobello knew about a boat ...

... annoying because, well, I wanted to be on the the bus and every other atomic shuttle has been late. I rebooked for the afternoon bus and spent the morning, being cold, annoyed about over sleeping and of course drinking more coffee (at least I havn't had fish and chips in a while). The afternoon bus was busy (heaps of people from the airport) and I ended up sat next to another kiwi. This one was considerably older and had three slightly ...

... and drove us to te beach at st clair where me and finny were going for drinks - we walked into the cafe and he immediately met two surfer mates and we joined them - finny tries to surf most days now - and has something like a 10 -15 minutes commute - thats a life style ! after a couple of beers and some more chat they dropped me off at the hostel and so ends my day in dunedin - it was good to see the lad again and meet up with the family

... and offspring in the burrows. Walking back to the car we often had to pause to let one cross in front of us. It was another of many magical moments of this holiday. It was tempting to remain on the peninsula for a second day, as we knew it still had a lot to offer us. However we'd also been told by a number of people that we really should experience the beauty of the wild and more remote section of the Southern Island known as The Catlins and so off we drove.

... up enough for me to fulfil this small ambition. Woken at ridiculous o'clock this morning by T-Mobile, bank, double glazing salesman or similar ringing. However, my phone battery died yesterday so I left it on charge overnight, and since the way I charge my phone is through a USB cable, that meant it was on the table with my computer, far too far away to contemplate getting up for. Dropped off again, while half thinking "oh dear, I will wake up at some late o ...

... ver al atardecer los pinguinos... Que suerte tuvimos, la playa donde pueden ser divisados era un escenario salvaje, por las olas, por la neblina... normalmente no puedes descender hasta la playa, porque esta protegida esta area, asi que los tienes que divisar desde bastante alto.... Pero lo bueno es que estabamos por un senderito esperando y esperando y aparecio una de esas criaturas que parecen hombrecitos con frac por el sendero, con la cabeza caida y dando esos pasitos ...

... gle til lejligheden! Det betød heldigvis kun en enkelt overnatning på en sofa og en udgift på 20 NZD (knap 100 kr.). Men lidt om skolen også. Ligesom på CBS er undervisningen delt op i forelæsninger og holdundervisning. Hvad jeg ikke vidste var, at der ikke er holdundervisning i den første uge. Det var der kun en enkelt anden uvidende person, der heller ikke havde opdaget. Så har mødt en enkelt af mine klassekammerater! Forelæsningerne var som ...

while i was out searching for a job yesterday, i decided to walk to "the biggest pet store in dunedin" to see if they had any available positions. this seemed especially appealing since the store also had a veterinarian clinic in it and i decided it would be worth the walk. an hr later.... i finally reached the store, however, it wasn't as big as i had envisioned...still pretty cool though. it had a big aviary and a decent selection of animals ...
