Wow…has it been that long since I last blogged already?
Time certainly flies!

After our visit to Cadbury factory, we had to rush to Larnach Castle as it was  near 5pm, and the sun set at 6pm. Not familiar with the road, it was not easy to find places after dark.

The Larnach Caste tour you have two options: The full package was about NZD$30+ while the ground tour (just the garden was NZD$16.

Since we were running out of time, we decided on just the ground tour.

There were quite many tourists on the day, but the crowd was not so bad. We still had shots of just us or the building without extras in the pictures :D

The garden is huge and green. It was beautiful, but it was not because of the flowers. The flowers were not as much as I had expected.

However, the view was magnificent. So picturesque.

In the castle area, there is also a resort for the tourists. But, I would suggest staying in the city for convenience purposes.

Last shot of the castle before we headed back to the city.

It was one of the most memorable destinations to us as our car was running out of fuel when we were heading there (and no gas station within 5km). We lost our way and drove to a dead end up the hill. And our car wouldn’t start again after it died off!

But thank god we had to make a u-turn down the hill and we needed no fuel to just roll down the hill.

But at last we managed to start the engine again.
