Akaroa




Less than 40 minutes from here is the charming village of Akaroa, which was formed by a volcanic eruption. The beautiful, narrow winding road around the edge of the crater descends into the country's first French settlement. The tiny town of Duvauchelle is on the outskirts of Akaroa and it was there, we found 2 street signs with my maiden name (Pawson) on them. Very cool. Akaroa boasts many outdoor activities such as kayaking, sailing, jetboating, hiking and horseback riding. It also has many quaint boutiques, shops, pubs and cafes, all with a stunning view of the harbour.
