Akoroa New Zealand

We sailed to the south island, and visited a farming community of Akoroa. Usually the ship visits Christchurch, but since their earthquake , they've diverted ships to this port. A delightful farming community that's ready for the business.

We tendered to this port- a nice quiet farming town
