I need to get back to the serenity of the New Zealand's South Island. My research on DNA takes me Otago University in Dunedin. The city is an attempted clone of the Edinburgh. I like Dunedin much better with the parks filled with wonderful beaked birds, penguins, the scent of roasting at the Cadberry chocolate factory. Seems everyone either trout fish or stalk down here. I find several high grade English made Shotguns and acquire a tidy W&C Scott and Sons Premiere grade hammer gun along with several Spanish AYA sidelocks.
The University is modern and well endowed with the newest in scientific apparatus. The student remind me of Cambridge where there is no heat in the off campus housing and basically a hard drinking, hard play and hard academic lifestyle. When the All Blacks national rugby come to town, they close Dunedin for a holiday or the district Rugby teams play in the massive stadium in Dunedin the town comes alive with a festive mood not unlike a Mexican fiesta in small town Mexico.
There is great fishing both surf and offshore as well as excellent trout fishing away from the guides and other tourist. I am with the local scientist and their technicians usually are a mountains of info where the huge browns lurk. I will review the breakthrough data and head off to the mountains to ponder the results while tying flies and tricking Innocent browns.
