New Zealand: Boats at Akaroa Harbor

Location:  Akaroa, South Island, New Zealand

We were fortunate enough to have spent a month in New Zealand last year.  In that time we got to see quite a bit of the country.   One of the places I liked best was a picturesque town called Akaroa, on the Banks Peninsula, not far from Christchurch.   Situated on a lovely sheltered harbor, Akaroa had been a French settlement at one point in history.
