Sunday

We drove to see Akaroa town but found it very touristy (not helped by lots of buses, tour guides etc as a cruise ship was in). We then decided to take an afternoon off so drove a short way to  a freedom site on the peninsula on the sea edge. Whilst Martin took a nap I decided to walk to an alpaca farm which was signposted 2 km down the road. Trouble was it was 2 km UP the road- steep uphill too. When I got to the top there was another sign pointing up yet another hill so I stopped and chatted to a sheep farmer who was sorting his pregnant ewes from the rest of the herd.

In the morning a chap arrived in a security van and checked all those who had overnighted had a self contained van - a large fine if not.
