Dunedin and Penquin Place

Hi Girlies,

Today we are visiting our last port in New Zealand, Dunedin.  We are sad to leave New Zealand, it is such a beautiful country.  This morning we took a short tour of downtown Dunedin.  We saw this beautiful church.

Then in the afternoon we went to Penquin Place which is a conservation reserve to protect the endangered Yellow Eyed Penguin.  The first place we went was the penguin hospital where injured penguins are nursed back to health.  We saw lots of penguins in the hospital.

We then walked to the beach where the penguins live.  Nice beach!!

We planted two trees in the park to provide more habitat for the penguins.

Here is one of our trees.  Maybe someday we can come back and see it.

So that was our day in Dunedin and penguin place.  We are now sailing towards Fiordland where we will go through three vary narrow sounds, they should be beautiful.  Bye for now, we love you.
