These past few days I've been cruising around the Otago Peninsula, which is a simply magical place. It reminds me a lot of the Banks Peninsula, only smaller. Visited the Portobello Marine Laboratory/Aquarium as well as the Albatross Colony at Taiaroa Head, but was too late to catch the last tour of the day; oh well, already saw plenty of albatrosses down at Stewart Island. Today I wandered around Larnach Castle, NZ's only "castle," and the next trip out will be to a place called Sandfly Bay as recommended by Raz, who was here a few years ago.
