At breakfast this morning I checked over the paperwork and noticed that we leave from Dunedin, not Port Chalmers where the cruise ship had berthed yesterday ! As it was raining our hosts suggested a run into Dunedin to a. Check Le Soleal was in port, and b. Visit the Otago Museum

Dunedin University
Elaborate Tiki carving within Dunedin Museum

There was maritime section within the museum, I found a poster displaying the 6 types of boat motion which I gleefully pointed out to H. Hopefully we won’t experience them all at the same time ! Le Soleal was in port, always a bonus when cruising.

She’s smiling now, whilst on land.

We are shortly due to drive back to town and embark, so will finish the blog once we’ve set sail.
