Akaroa Highlights

A bellbird in the gardens of our Motel

I have been in Akaroa this weekend and have loved every minute of it. I took a lot of photos both with my cellphone and my DSLR. Highlights of the weekend were going to The Giants House – a stunning garden full of the most incredible mosaic sculptures (you must see it to believe it), the birdlife – wow there are so many bellbirds – it was such a joy to wake up to their dawn chorus, walking up in the hills, the food (dinner at the The Little Bistro was sublime) and lastly the joy you get from just being somewhere interesting and quirky.

The beautiful Akaroa

September 19, 2011

Well it has rained most of today and it has been cold as well, so instead of a rain-swept Christchurch photo, here are my photos from yesterday and my trip to Akaroa (which is about 1.5 hours away from Christchurch).

Snapped today in Akaroa at about 5pm.  It had been raining and the sun came out, and the greys looked very moody and photogenic!
