"Dunedin is a major city located on the southeast coast of the South Island, renowned for its strong Scottish heritage which is reflected in its architecture and character. It serves as a vibrant university city, home to the University of Otago, giving it a lively student population and a dynamic cultural scene. The city is famous for its remarkably well-preserved Victorian and Edwardian architecture, seen in grand buildings like the iconic Railway Station and numerous churches, and it also offers easy access to the scenic Otago Peninsula, known for unique wildlife such as albatross and penguins. Combined with landmarks like the world's steepest street, Baldwin Street, Dunedin offers a rich blend of history, culture, natural beauty, and academic energy." The trip to Dunedin was a full one. Absolutely fitting as much into 4 days as absolutely possible. From visiting the Otago Museum, to the albatross, to the old cheese factory by Karitane, to virtual golf. This is a trip we will hold close to us, as when we got back to Christchurch, my partner Nicole was diagnosed with her brain tumor again, after 3 resections, she was booked in for her 4th, with radiation and chemotherapy to follow up. Her PLNTY brain tumor had turned malignant, and was given only 10 years to live. Apparently only 1 other case in the world where a PLNTY tumor has acted this way. Sometimes its the way the cookie crumbles. This is the start of the a fairly lengthy break for us. We have shut down shop to focus on Nicole and her needs. Peace x
