Hello from Dunedin, one of NZ's oldest big cities. We visited the Albatross colony on the Otago peninsula today - the only mainland breeding colony in the world for these enormous seabirds. We were fortunate enough to see them nesting and even flying. Hopefully you'll also notice we improved the quality of our images.... take a look!

Just a quick add from Akhil: Driving to Dunedin, we stopped off at A.J. Hackett Bungy jumping. Watched a bunch of folks bungy, including a 70-plus-year-old hitchhiker from England. When we left, we saw him hitching, so we gave him a ride and heard stories of his adventures hitching across the U.S., fighting for the British in Cypress and his other NZ hitchhiking journeys. He said the bungy was easy, but expensive, that getting shot at in Cypress was worse. $140 per jump, not including the video, though he got a "pensioner's rate." Dropped him off at the turn off to Waneka, and then motored on in to Dunedin.
