Modak’s Espresso – Dunedin, New Zealand

This is from our last Dunedin. We had boat drill (they always put it on a great port day), and the boat drill didn’t end till 11:30, and the shuttle into town takes half an hour, and we had to be back onboard for a 3:00pm rehearsal. So it was a short day, but I […]

Maunganui) and the strawberry alarmclock (Aukland) are all still here. Our […]
