This is my fifth day here and I’m really enjoying it. Apart from the minor sunburn (it’s strange to think it was snowing when I left Glasgow) I’ve had no ill effects, even managing to avoid jet lag.

I was quite impressed with Emirates this time round. The free hotel room in Dubai was a really good addition to what was the cheapest ticket I could find.

So far I’ve visited a two museums, two markets, a rugby game, the Moeraki Boulders, the Chinese Garden and the Royal Albatross Centre. The last main Dunedin attraction yet to visit being Baldwin Street.

On the job front, we hear back tomorrow (17th) about that although it looks positive.
