Day 33 Dunedin/Akaroa

We spent the morning touring Dunedin...  not enough time but time is moving on and so should we. We have reservations in Akaroa for 2 nights so we spend the afternoon driving the 430 km from Dunedin to the Akaroa Peninsula. Mostly the drive is through farmland and is relatively flat as we approach Christchurch. Just before Christchurch we turn for Akaroa and the roads become narrower and more hilly. We climb to the top of a hill following several switchbacks and just as we start down the other side ... there is this beautiful bay below us. Now I know why people say you must visit the Akaroa Peninsula ! After soaking in more beauty we head into the village and find our accommodations. They had mucked up our reservation .. so they upgraded us to an apartment right on the water with this awesome view ! I hate it when things like this happen !! Tomorrow we have a kayak trip booked.. hopefully we will see some sea life !
