Hey all
We visited Larnach castle today which is about 13km north of our house on the Otago Peninsula. It is so beautiful!. The views we saw were so spectacular! Bella thought that we were going to her castle because she thinks she is a princess! So of course she wore her crown, as you can see in the pictures. We were able to talk her out of wearing her princess dress and high heels!!
The castle was built in 1870 by William Larnach. There are 34 1/2 acres 
of gardens surrounding the castle with a fountain and duck pond in the middle. The kids had so much fun running all around the gardens. We didn't go inside the castle this time because we went in the afternoon and Bella was tired and when she gets tired she gets fiesty and I did't feel like paying for any damage after she trashed the place!! we will save that for another day. There was one area of stairs built on the side of a hill with several platforms. There were views of the Otago Peninsula from each platform and they were so spectacular. One of the videos at the end of this blog is a panoramic view of the Otago Peninsula.
