We slept in today and took a tender to go ashore which was fun. It was 64 degrees today and felt quite warm by comparison to Connecticut. We are told it is because there is a large hole in the ozone layer here which makes the sun feel more intense.
Akaroa looks like paradise with its rolling green hills dotted with an occasional house and cattle or sheep in the fields. The township is small, clean, friendly and and an easy walk. On the day we were there, they had a farmers market and a crafter's market much like any hometown market you would visit. Its a place that you immediately think, "I could live here."
Upon our return we played backgammon and scrabble by the pool until dinner. Then we saw a comedian, Simon McKinney which we saw a few days ago as well. It was his second show. He was good. Then a cup of coffee on our private balcony while watching the dark night sky and the white cap waves from our ship. What a perfect day for us. We could get used to this.
Looks lovely! I wish we had some palm tree weather here right about now too :)
ReplyDeleteIts been predicted to be in the upper 50s each day but has actually been in the mid sixties. The weather has been perfect for us, no rain except on the train but only briefly and we were on the train so as they say, "No worries."
ReplyDeleteI think I may have discovered a new career if not for you definitely me as a secret cruise critic.
