Luke, the son of my father’s colleague was kind enough to show my brother and I around some of Dunedin’s more unsung attractions. Al and I even jumped in the frigid ocean waters to avoid any tourist-ness. Dunedin has a lot to offer to a guy like me from its rich history and stunning scenes to the nightlife, biking trails and restaurants.
