Akaroa Bay

On the way down to Akaroa we didnt really stop at all only for some photos and a short drive down Summit Road in Akaroa where we stopped at an area that over looked the Bay. When we got down to the Bay just before Duvauchelle we stopped at the little part of the Bay that goes out. The middle of this is actually an active volcano so we decided to climb it. The start part was a little steep, after we got some pictures we climbed down and walk along the beach towards the end where we climbed an even bigger hill. The view from up there was amazing!! On the way down we went a diffetent way down which had a sign saying keep out, dangerous etc. It wasnt at all bad just a little eroding here and there. We then stroll on to the car. Headed back up Highway 75 onto Highway 76 briefly then got back onto Highway 1. We headed on Highway 1 to Rakaia then headed up to Methven. We where now on the tourist root in front of Mt Hutt and Mount Taylor. The drive was amazing with all the mountains on the horizon. We found a free camp site inbetween Staveley and Mount Somers. The camp site was pretty good we had a drop toilet and plenty of room, the views werent to shabby either.Leia mais
