| DAY 21 | Dunedin and a night in Larnoch Castle. | |
The view from last nights glorious accomodation, Nylon sheets tend to harbour short & curlies.
Florence hill lookout, our first stopping spot.
Purakaunui Falls a few minutes walk from the road.
The walkway was lined with beautiful new ferns, opening their fronds for the first time.
Surat Bay, home to the sea lions, not today I'm afraid.
The compacted sand was a joy to walk, The beach is clearly a favorite path for the local pony treckers.
A welcome lunch at "The point" in Kakapo.
Nugget point, home to another diminuative lighthouse.
I waited at the view point and enjoyed some local birdlife, while Ian scaled the hillside.
And who lives in a house named this?
A chance encounter with this 19th century cottage, Set by the local historical society in 1974!
Not a bad view from room 28 the lodge Larnach Castle.
The highlight of the day, a proper dinner in the castle..an excellent 3 courses from our host Colin & his team.
The 12 of us got on well, Garth & Virginia ( my tattoo'd buddy from oz ) Bob & Renee, from oz & Namibia, The Germans & the couple from Singapore & a pair from Salzberg ( Austria )
A slightly wobbly wander back from the castle, sorry the pic is blurry.
Goodnight our reader & well done mum at physio today..what a star xxx
