Akaroa

Akaroa is a small French town on the Banks Peninsula, opposite Christchurch. It is approximately 1.5 hours from ChCh by car and is known for its harbor cruising and dolphin swimming. I have yet to do these touristy type things, these photos are the result of a sudden whim to try out my new wheels on one gorgeous Sunday afternoon.
