After a cold night last night it was a bit of a scorcher in the sunshine at Akaroa. Love the French vibe - different to anywhere else in NZ. Moving on tomorrow...

Big day but best track and views so far. The photos don't show how high, narrow and winding the track was going around the Benmore dam, nor the lack of safety barriers - you just had to be careful.Leggi altro
