After Britti had been there for some days playing sports for school we went to beautiful Akaroa. It was originally a French settlement quickly taken over by the British. How quaint is this place in a volcano formed fiord-like harbour surrounded by mountains. Today I learnt that this is the oldest Colonial Settlement in the South of New Zealand

This beautiful little harbour has about 86 Cruise Ships visiting every summer.

We had a great day out. About one and a half hours drive from Woodend near Rangiora
