WORTH THE MONEY?! Larnach Castle, Sandymount, Royal Albatross

WORTH THE MONEY?! Larnach Castle, Sandymount, Royal Albatross | Otago Peninsula, Dunedin, NZ 🇳🇿

In todays episode we explore the Otago Peninsula close to Dunedin. While I'm exploring the Larnach Castle, Glen is offering some lovely strangers a lift to the city centre. Later we're exploring together the Sandymount Recreation Reserve, a nice loop walk with a beautiful lookout over Allan‘s Beach. We highly recommend doing this track anti-clockwise to avoid some steep sandy parts! Later we're heading tot the Royal Albatross centre!

Glen: YOU not just the man. But a Gentleman as well. Always greeting people who are total strangers. Show that friendly way to say "How are you". (Doesn't cost money to be a Gentleman). Mado: You are just a Lady. "Like a wild child". No matter what, you put a 100% in your heart to make great videos. Regards South Africa 🇿🇦.

I agree. It is too dear for the albatrosses. I live in Dunedin and have only ever gone to the end and had something to eat and drink there. However, I can understand why they need to charge so much.

@rogerb4436 5 ай бұрын

True, I to wouldn't have paid that but I can see how it would cost a bit for the upkeep so it is probably a justifiable cost but like you it's something I wouldn't pay for. Done your good deed for the day Glen, good for you mate.

Hey you two. Have you been to Olveston house it's a huge house. Built by a Jewish family importing furniture for a living. I was told it better than Larnachs castle. We loved our visit. You like trains the station is worth the visit. Settlers Museum has Josephine the actual Fairlie train inside. There is a maccano model of it in a different area. Oamaru if you like steam punk, that is amazing fantastic.

@inastew1 2 ай бұрын

Such a shame you didn't see the Albatross, they are huge birds, nothing like the sea gulls that you saw. they have wing spans wider than Glen is tall. The cost includes a guide, you see them fly past really close by and you can also see the disappearing gun. And it is $NZ50 not 50 euro as you said, only 25 euro. It seems a lot but I was in Europe last year and you pay just as much to see less. Albatross are amazing flyers, they can get to Australia in a day and fly faster than a helicopter just by gliding, using the wind and surfing above the waves. As a Dunedinite I really liked your videos.

@GlenAndMado 2 ай бұрын

Completely understand my friend and really appreciate the comment, the problem is we’re living from savings and we try to minimise the expenses as much as possible as we’re travelling for a year or so or more at a time and need the experience to last as long as possible 😅 it all depends on the person too and the interest they have so we would probably end up spending it on something else that we really like for example. But your right we did miss out on this spectacular moment unfortunately 🙌

I first caught up on u2 when you hiked up to Conical hill at the top of the Route Burn track. It brought me back to when I lived in Queenstown when I woke up really early on a Saturday. I looked out the window & it was totally blue sky not a cloud anywhere just blue sky. I woke up my wife & said we are going up the Route burn. What an amazing day, we were over taken by professional photographers running up the track the only difference to your experience was it was a totally cloudless day a very very rare occurrence.

thats a special memory to remember forever! I'm so happy that you got to experience such good weather! what an absolute gem of a hike. were so lucky to get to see such a place in our lifetimes. thanks for watching wayne and we hope you get plenty of more hikes in over the incoming years 😉

Wow that's expensive for bird sanctuary. You got to remember that fuel costs so much money here (NZ Government Taxes, they even taxing EV's @ $74? Per 1000 kms) the further the town or stores etc the more everything costs, like cafes, stores, fuels, hardware everything.

You would be paying not just to see albatrosses but seals and especially the rare yellow eyed penguins. The tour is on a sand buggy and they take you very cautiously to a built in shelter where you get to see the penguins pretty close up. Love your hair Mado.

I live in Dunedin. It is totally worth the entry price. You failed to go into enough depth about the extremely story about the man who built it and his dysfunctional family. Your superficial view of it is just that. You need to pick up your game before you come up with headers like this one.
