Greetings from Dunedin

After much correction by locals, we have the pronunciation (or at least one of them) for our current location correctly sussed. It's "Du-NEED-in".
And have we mentioned, paying for Internet access by the minute stinks? We're in an internet cafe that closes "late", which is, appearantly, 8pm. We're not sure what New Zealanders do at night, but it's appearantly not anything involving retail, because they rolled up the streets here at 4pm. :)

Whinging aside, we're doing well. Drive from Queenstown today was about 5 hours, plus a stop at a vineyard (Gewurtztraminer purchased), and another stop at a LOTR site. We'll send photos, but today's stop was where the Fellowship was boating down the Anduin river, and they pass the Gate of the Kings. Ask Brian for a translation of that, everybody. :)


Yesterday in Queenstown, we did the Street Luge (which I think makes us BIG LUGERS ha ha!) tho it was on a track, not actually on a street with peds, cars and oil spills. So pretty safe.

The Cleric watched while TheJester did a tandem paraglide from approx 3000 feet up down to about 1000 feet. Wicked fun! Doro- you gotta try this - I have their card, and photos. Much fun.
They're closing here, so we'll see you later and post photos when we have better access.
Love to all!
-TheJester
