We got to Dunedin around 4 pm, which felt like a pretty big city and, at first impression, pretty ugly. We checked into our hotel, the Southern Cross, which I thought would be horrible but was actually OK. It's a big modern hotel in the city center, although it does have a nice older section as well. The lobby is quite stylish and the rooms are pretty big, but very bland and weirdly configured. We went to their crummy gym, had dinner at Etrusco's, a large atmospheric restaurant serving good Italian food, and returned to the hotel to play in their ornate casino, restored from the original hotel. Somchai won about $75, so I quit my job and we're living off his winnings. Southern Cross (3) Room-3, Facilities-3, Service-2, Wow-1 (a thriving casino was a quite a surprise)
