Otago Peninsula, a jewel on the coast filled with wildlife: Royal Albatross, (endangered) Yellow-Eyed Penguins, Blue Penguins, Sea Lions and more!
Dunedin is South Islands 2nd largest city, Its name comes from Dùn Èideann, the Scottish Gaelicname for Edinburgh the capital of Scotland. We didn't tour much here, I was more interested in the wildlife at the peninsula!
