We had a great day exploring Dunedin. We went for a short walk on the Otago Peninsula. The views were spectacular.
Dunedin is an odd place. It began as a sort of Scottish immigrant colony and by the beginning of the 20th Century was a bit of a boom town. This is reflected in its improbable railway station, designed by an architect known as 'Gingerbread George'. Inside there were beautiful old stained glass windows. It even has a decent little sports museum.
Larnach Castle was a spectacular old house in an incredible setting. The story of the family who built it was rather sad.
Dunedin is a university city so we enjoyed the cheap restaurants and were blessed by beautiful weather.
