We visited the Larnach castle for the second time while my mom was here. It was really fun! The last time we went, we opted not to go inside the castle but rather just look around the garden. It was early evening when we went and we were afraid that the castle wouldn't be the same after letting a tired pre-schooler and curious toddler have a look at it! It was gorgeous and warm that day so we were able to spend alot of time outside and really enjoy the spectacular views. This time, however, it was very cold and windy. We did look around the garden but it was a pretty quick trip and then we decided to go inside....
We had a great time! The kids did really well. I was glad that there weren't many other people around so we were able to move pretty quickly throughout the rooms. It was really fun for me because I was able to tell Bella things about what we were seeing and she was actually listening! I wasn't sure if she was listening but when we went into a room for a second time she repeated back to me everything I had told her before. It was pretty cool.
Charlie loved that there were tons of stairs to climb and he wasn't riding in a stroller and was actually walking!
One of the coolest parts was when we got to climb the narrow winding stairs to the turret where we had a view of the whole area. Bella was a princess in the tower, as she was wearing her tiara and had a princess gown on over her jeans that day.
Another fun day in Dunedin!
