Otago Peninsula

---

Left Timaru and made our way towards Dunedin, which has New Zealand's only castle called 'Lanarch' built in 1871. On the way we stopped off briefly in Omaru to have a quick look around the blue penguin centre, unfortunately we would have to wait until dusk to view the penguins in action. We also took a small detour to Trotters gorge until we eventually ended up in Dunedin.

In the afternoon we decided to take our campervan along the Otago Peninsula. This involved an incredibly windy road, with lots of great coastal views, & an array of birdlife and sealife. It is also possible to visit the Albatross and yellow eyed penguin centre, but sadly both had finished their tours for the day by the time we arrived. Unfortunately the wildlife was not working to our timescale that day! We made our way from Portabello Road & then up to Taiaroa Head. Then back to our campsite for the night - not much nightlife though!
