Day 33 (Dunedin/Oamaru/Twizel) - Friday 21st October 2016


Reading buddy at Glenfalloch gardens
Our first stop of the day was to Larnach Castle, which is situated on the Otago Peninsula part of Dunedin. It's New Zealand's only castle and is quite exquisite. The views from the tower are breathtaking.

We followed this up with a visit to Glenfalloch Restaurant (and gardens) for morning tea, with a quick photo stop at Baldwin Street, the world's steepest street, afterwards.

We only had an hour to spend at Oamaru, which wasn't enough time to do the town justice. I ate my lunch as I walked back from Oamaru Public Library over to Steampunk HQ, which is a steampunk museum and is absolutely fantastic! I loved experiencing The Portal.

Our final stop of the day was at Benmore dam and power station, and the views here were quite breathtaking, too. In the evening, I took a walk around Twizel (pronounced Twy-zel) and took some shots at twilight/dusk.
