Dunedin--->Oamaru

Hi everyone,

We're now in the lovely, white-stone town of Oamaru. It's an old historic port from the 1800's that feels like a great mix of American 'Old West' and English village. We had a actual roast in an actual pub last night--which made us very happy campers indeed (literally!). We were even warm last night because we each hired our own duvet to go along with our sleeping bags. It was only about 4 or 5 degrees C.

Dunedin ended up being fine. The beer tour was good fun, and St. Clair (the beach suburb) was beautiful. 

We get to go penguin-watching tonight on the beaches here, and I can't wait. We'll see the rare Yellow-eyed and Little Blues. I'm not sure about taking photos, because I don't want to disturb them, but watch this space just in case.

We have two more nights here and then it's back to Christchurch. Only five more sleeps 'til Singapore and the beginning of the Asian leg of our adventure.

Love,
Ames
