BANKS PENINSULA |
|||
 |
 |
 |
 |
| On the way to the Banks Peninsula. Cook thought it was an Island and named it after his naturalist Banks for his 25th birthday. | Getting more hilly... | In the hills (as for sheep pictures we'll do a separate section... too many of them!) | Green. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| more green! | Here you can see the Akaroa Harbour | It is located in an extinct volcano. | Pretty isn't it? |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Perfect spot for a picnic. | Mike | Mitsi | On our way for a hike... |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| ...along the edge of the volcano. | We can hear a lot of sheep... | ...and... | ...the sea... |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| ...and the thunderstorm! Run for your life! (needless to say we got ABSOLUTELY soaked) | In Akaroa Harbour (which was a French settlement, they sell really good pain au chocolat) | The lighthouse. | You can take very interesting cruises from here. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| The lighthouse (which wasn't there at all in the old days) | View of Akaroa Harbour | Akaroa from above. | Check out the road (really steep). |
