Sea Kayaking in Akaroa


This past Sunday Ryan and I took a field trip to Akaroa, a town on the Banks Peninsula. It was a beautiful sunny day and we rented a two person sea kayak for half a day to explore the harbor(video). We were hoping to see some dolphins but it was the end of a holiday weekend so there were a lot of motor boats and sail boats all around. They man that rented us the kayaks said that dolphins like singing, but even our own sing along did not get us anywhere. We may need to take one of the wildlife cruises to the mouth of the harbor to see dolphins. The rest of the day we went hiking around town and then took the Akaroa shuttle back to Christchurch.

This week we are still looking for a car and we are having an American Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday. It should be fun.
