Oamaru to Akaroa
18 - 20 Feb - We travelled onto Akaroa, on the Banks Peninsula. Staying at Akaroa gave us the opportunity to try out an Australasian holiday park - the Top 10 Holiday Park. At $105 dollars a night for a studio en-suite and a deck overlooking the Bay was restful. We ate locally on fish and chips, a very popular option judging by the number of people waiting ahead of us in the queue. The drive over the Banks Peninsula can be a bit hair-raising and frustrating if you find yourself with a camper van moving slowly ahead of you (and not using the pull in lanes to allow faster moving vehicles to overtake).
The 19th saw us walking around the sites of Akaroa and taking a boat trip out to see the Hector's dolphins the area is famous for, along with a vast range of other sea and air wildlife. We toured with Akaroa Dolphin and Harbour Cruises, a small and personally run company. We were served with wine, soft drinks, and hot drinks with home made cookies.
