Day 2 in Dunedin continued

This afternoon my host, Janice Murray, took me hiking at Sand Fly Beach, which is located on the Dunedin Peninsula. It earned its named because of the high winds that cause the sand to fly not because it is particularly buggy. There is also a colony of yellow-eyed penguins that live there but we did not spot any of those. This is the same hike Janice took Lynn Nadel and Mary Peterson on (2 faculty members in the Arizona Psychology Department) 6 years ago when they were here.

The hike was gorgeous, and yes hilly. This time, however, the hills involved walking up soft sand in bare feet. Also, the weather was perfect! Warm with no wind. Here are the pictures.




After the hike we drove to St. Kilda's beach. This is where the people go to swim and surf. Dunedin has many faces. It is a college town, an industrial harbor town, a hilly hiker's paradise, and yes a beach town all in one. The next two photos are of St. Kilda's beach.
This one is for Drew. This is the famous Neil McNaughton home. I want us to go there.
