Kia Ora (hello in the indigenous Maori language) from Dunedin.

Spent last night in Christchurch and found a fun little pub to hang out in with live music. There was a cricket match on (NZ v. India) and some locals were giving me a lesson. I think I've got the basics, but what a funny sport that is. Only the British would come up with a game that could last 5 days and the players break for tea and crumpets. I'm not kidding! Can you imagine if during the 7th inning stretch our players took a break for afternoon tea? Hilarious. Whole new meaning to last call in the middle of the 7th.

Ran into a great couple I met in Sydney, Greg and Paola, in Christchurch and had dinner with them last night. Thanks again guys! It was great to see you.

Traveled today from Christchurch to Dunedin, which was the first settlement on the south island made by the Scottish. I'm sure I can find a good pub tonight. Dunedin is the Gaelic word for Edinburgh. Here two nights and have a tour and sea kayaking trip planned for tomorrow if the weather is okay. It is sunny, but windy and cold.

Will update again soon.
