Virtual Cruise, Part 5

The Sapphire Princess arrived in Dunedin, New Zealand at 9:00 am Wednesday (New Zealand time). It was noon here in the U.S. west coast. It was only 47 degrees. Burrrr!!!! It was sunny and got up to 64 by 3:00 pm, but that's still on the cool side. Especially for people from Arizona!!

Dunedin is described as the best-preserved Victorian city in the world. The tour my parents had scheduled for today is a visit to Larnach Castle, New Zealand's only castle.
It sits on a hill overlooking Otago Harbour. (That's how they spell it over there, with the "u". Looks funny!)

Along the way, they will view the interesting architecture of a few historic buildings like churches and a couple of banks.

Next stop will be Christchurch, New Zealand, then a full day at sea.
