Akaroa

I've had a wonderful day! It started in Pigeon Bay with the Holten family. I spent some time with the cute kids playing with lego. Then I got a ride into Akaroa, the biggest town on Bank's Peninsula. An interesting town that was settled by the French. In the morning I took a boat cruise in the big bay. We saw dolphins, penguins, seals and albatrosses in the beautiful scenery. I didn't manage to get any good photos of the constantly moving animals so you'll have to take my word for it ;-)


For lunch I had a fish burger made from freshly locally fished fish. Then I went to the Giant's house. It's a big garden decorated with mosaics, statues and plants. Absolutely stunning! Reminded me of Hundertwasser and Gaudí. But Josie Martin has got her own slightly more feminine style. It was worth every cent I spent on the entrance!
