We went to one of the biggest cemeteries in Dunedin for a tour. We walked around hearing about the different people who are buried there and the history of the cemetery. It is right next to the gardens on the hills that overlook the city. It used to be in the middle of town but the people had to be moved because they were decomposing into the city water supply. There are also people buried there that were executed. They were buried under the prison but when it was shut down and demolished the people were moved. They are not allowed a headstone.
And I thought I had pictures for this but my camera and memory card have decided to stop working now.
We also we to the castle. We had high tea there and then went on a tour of the castle. It started out as a nice day but by the time we went to the tour the clouds had come it and we could not see anything. I guess it is just not meant to be. Josh also had lots of fun taking pictures of me because I happen to be standing next to him a few times. His favorite place for pictures was on the stair cases.

On the way back to Dunedin we drove by Larnach's boat house so we could complete the trifecta. Grave, castle, and boat house.
