Akaroa (prounounced Ak-a-row-a) is a little town south of Chrischurch, on Akaroa Bay.

The drive was about an hour and a half from Christchurch, although it was pretty windy for the last half hour. The scenery was beautiful and we stopped a couple of times to take photos on our drive down.

We were staying at a cute little guesthouse called ‘Room with a view’ run by such a sweet lady called Rosemary. She was so welcoming and had arranged fresh flowers in all of our rooms.

After a cup of tea on the porch, Mum and I went off to take some photos of the bay. The light was gorgeous and stayed bright until 9pm.

I have taken far too many photos in New Zealand already- believe it or not, some serious culling has taken place before I have posted these. There are about 500 to choose from!
