Akaroa



Akaroa is a very small town nestled in a beautiful bay, framed by high hills.  We had to tender in from the ship, as there were no docking facilities for our large cruise ship.  The settlement was originally French and still maintains some of the French flavour.  We  managed to get to mass at the local parish church and then spent our time wandering the streets and looking in the shops. 

The town was very small, but quaint.


St. Patrick's parish where we attended mass.
