As part of my mum's 70th birthday celebrations, we had a family holiday in Dunedin. The last time we'd been there was in the mid-90s, so it had been a while...

Day 1
Since it was the last Friday of term before the school holidays, we opted to go to the museum as it would likely be less crowded than from the Saturday onwards. We also weren't sure what the weather was going to do - as it turned out, we needn't have worried!

Day 2
A road trip to Oamaru and back, with various stops on the way...

Coastline walk at Karitane

Moeraki boulders

Fur seal

Day 3
Being a Sunday, I asked if I could be dropped off at a church (since options in PNG have been pretty limited). It was good to be able to be anonymous.
In the afternoon, we went to the albatross colony at Taiaroa head.
