We got off the ship for a two day excursion to Queenstown, a awesome trip, just a lot of time spent on a bus as we met back up with the ship in Dunedin

Port can be skipped, we did a hop on hop off (new one red open top bus) and the entire we were harassed by the driver for not getting off at stops. No one wanted to as we would have to wait 30-40 minutes for the next bus if there were seats avail. We finally dd get off a couple stops earlier than we planned and walked as we got tired of his attitude
