Dunedin is the largest city in New Zealand and has a Scottish flair. Took the train ride over the gorge and thru the mountains. The train is very rustic with a table between our seats, the countryside beautiful. Lunch of small sub with a vegetable based salad in a tasty vinaigrette liquid. One each of strawberry, plum and yogurt based strawberry mouse. Also cheese and crackers and tea and wine. Also packed w/in our lunch was a silk yellow daffodil pin. Very enjoyable altho bumpy ride. I bought some post cards to get a better view of the train ride. The gorge was nothing to us compared to sights seen elsewhere but still an awesome trip.
Later we went to Larnach Castle, complete with all the trimmings. Below is an aerial picture of the area. The gardens here are breathtaking. One picture below is part of the gardens with another of the view from the end of the garden. And the bagpiper in full regatta. Enjoy!
We finished the day with a ride of the city and interests with a view of the steepest hill in a residental city as recorded in Book of Guinness Records.
