We visited Dunedin, for about 10 minutes. Then we decided we didn't need any more hustle & bustle found in the big city (100,000). So we headed to Port Chalmers - where you'll find maybe 1000 town folk. Much easier on the head.
The hostel, Billy Brown's Backpackers, is located on top of a crazy steep hill, surrounded by short green grass and sheep. Lots of sheep. The hostel is rustic, but new. Very well built, with a great living room, kitchen and a simple but very effective wood fireplace. In short, it was so nice we decided to stay a second night. That, and we have the place to ourself. Oh, did I mention - 270 degree views of ocean? :)
My health is returning nicely - this morning I felt well enough to try a little trail run, maybe 2 km in length. Out to the two trees and back. Was light headed for the first .5km, but the wind, sun & fresh air did wonders. Although weaker than I'd normally care to admit, the run was amazing. No trail, just green grass cut by sheep. And views to kill.
Tomorrow I try 5km. And I'm really, really looking forward to it.
