Akaroa peninsula

We started our adventure with a quick trip to Akaroa, the volcanic peninsula to the east of Christchurch.

There are so many sheep in New Zealand!  All the rumors are true!

Our campsite was lovely!

We walked along the beach before dinner.

I woke up pretty well rested in my new home.

Modeling the camper :)

Here he is, looking stylish!

Our campgrounds had some fun ropes courses!  I had to try this one twice, it's much higher than it looks, but I eventually made it to the top.

Another beach walk the following morning resulted in us seeing baby birds!

Not sure when their beak turns red.

The beach then turned into a river, which we followed all the way into town.

More of the river walk.

Proof that we were there!

After a nice long walk, Caryl made us some coffee.

Guess which graffiti is mine!

We left the campsite and headed back into the hills - our campsite was in the center of the bay below.

Me driving!!!

Lovely views.


In the town of Akaroa, in the center of the peninsula.

I had some bread to feed to the seagulls - they are so agile and acrobatic!  I was very impressed.



So aggressive!



Still in Akaroa.

After leaving Akaroa we drove to a campsite south of Christchurch where we made a yummy dinner, with wine we drank out of mugs.

A short walk the next morning on our way out of our campgrounds.
