Up and just off Highcliff Road on the Otago Peninsula spine is Larnach Castle. We visited years ago when the family was doing a lot of restoration. It's quite fascinating, and nothing is roped off like it is in most museums or, say, the Hearst Castle in California. Photography is not allowed inside, but here's one of Rick and Jim in the cafe after lunch. This used to be the stables. When we arrived, it was clear but as a storm moved in, the clouds were blowing right through the grounds. Rick said being up on the turret was Hamlet Act 1, Scene 1. He expected to see Hamlet's father walk out of the mist. Spooky!
