Today we went from Dunedin to the Royal Albatross centre. It is on the Otago Peninsula. You book a tour and make a short walk and then you are in a kind of hut with big windows. It is known as the best place in the world to watch Albatross from very close. They fly before very close to the windows. We got a lot of explanations about the Albatros too.
