Leaving Akaroa

The following morning the sky was blue and so was the bay. It was so quiet at 9 and so lovely that I went to the local old hotel to see if they would, all the backpackers being fully booked for the seasons, have a room without a view for the Xmas period. The answer was that they were closed on Xmas day but they could offer a nice and “noisy” room over the bar! From the 26th to the 30th... I have not fully made up my mind yet, even if I am tempted to plunge again in such an harmonious place, swimming with the dolphins and going with the flow .
