We left Christchurch, fortified with breakfast and a look at the Postcards from Antartica exhibit and started down the road to Akaroa. We stopped at Birdlings Flat after having had views of Lake Ellesmere. Quick stopat Little River (Gateway to Banks Peninsula) for a shop and lunch and at Barry’s Bay Cheese and and we were to Akaroa in no time.
Looks like the drizzling is about stopped. We walked down in the rain to check out shops and maybe get a few groceries, but we found a good place to head tonight for fish and chips so we’ll put off shopping til tomorrow. Also on the agenda for tomorrow – The Giant’s House (The Happiest Garden on Earth)
Finally, anyone who’s ever been to an event, quilt show or otherwise can attest to this bit of wisdom from the quote box:
There’s nothing like eavesdropping to show you that the world outside your head is different from the world inside your head. — Thornton Wilder
Love the quote. Your travels sound great. Keep going enjoy.
