Day 36 - We were late getting in today. The harbour entrance was immensely foggy in the morning. Our schedule called for us to arrive 9:00 am but it wasn't safe for our cruise ship to head in. We waited outside in the thick fog and did a few circles. We eventually arrived in Port Chalmers but the gangway wasn't ready until 12:30 PM.

Jay and I took a shuttle bus to Dunedin but first had to run out of the port area to find the one ATM. It cost us $15 each for the roundtrip tickets. It had: Pretty land, A few sheep, a bigger population than I expected on the south island.




We stayed pretty much downtown by the Octagon. We did see the old rail station but not the Cadbury Chocolate Factory. Before boarding the return shuttle, I had a beer in the square although Jay had ginger beer. Earlier he had picked up a baby sparrow stunned by a window and placed it out of harm's way off the sidewalk near the same place.
We were back on the ship after the half hour drive back at around 5:15.
