This morning we headed out onto the
peninsula. We took the high scenic road on the way out and really enjoyed the beauty of it all. We came back along the road that is right next to the harbour - the water
literally a couple of meters from the car.
We enjoyed most of the morning walking around
Larnach Castle. It was very beautiful but once again no photos were allowed to be taken in side (you will have to come check it out for yourself). We also
learnt a lot about it all as they had a lovely "children's guide" that Rachel was given which had lots of interesting information in.
We could at least take a photo from the
turret.
So we got a nice shot of some of the
gardens. We were given maps of the many gardens around the castle but we did not get to walk around all that much of it. It was very beautiful though.
And the view out over the
Harbour.
After lunch we headed out to the
tip of the peninsula where the
Royal Albatross Centre is. It was incredibly windy and the "tour" would be too long and too expensive so we just enjoyed a time of walking around the centre and watching some of the many videos that they had going and reading up about some of the information that was all over the place (on the Albatross as well as other wildlife in the area).
They are such
amazing birds.
We then headed up to
Waimate where we had dinner and stayed over.
Ruth found Nana's socks and shoes and tried them of for size.
We finally worked out a way of not worrying about
Hannah falling down the steps at the van's door. She had
so much fun walking around the van.
We traveled around
240km today (including the trip out on the peninsula).
