Akaroa - Yacht Sailing & Hectors Dolphins

Here we are in a very sunny Akaroa 33+ both days but a souherly has just got up & the weather is on the change. Had a great drive down from Kaikora through Christchurch (doing that later) Landscape changing all the time. Have had a glimpse of the Canterbury plains, they seem to stretch for miles. Dropping down into Akaroa was just breathtaking. It is a very beautiful place. hairpins all the way up & then all the way doen into a beautiful town & harbour.This place was discovered by the French & has remained typical so even the street names. Our accomodation is ok & we have a fantastic views out over the bay, lots of sea birds. Last night was a full moon and was so clear. This morning went sailing on yacht Fox 11. Fantastic smooth seas and glorious weather, Hectors Dolphins swimming alongside us, Blue Penquins as well just perfect.Off to Lake Tekapo tomorrow however weather due to change. As we type this the hillside in front of us is slowly being engulfed in cloud like custard pouring over a pudding!!! For those in the know have been to Fire & Ice!!!!
