The Dream

I have been in Akaroa a month, it is stunningly beautiful and it is not wearing thin.
I thank everyday for being here, feeling so lucky and very happy indeed.
Yesterday was a gorgeous day, roasting hot, the sky deep blue, the ocean sparkling and the mountains shining in their green glory.

I enjoyed a yummy ice cream on the beach:

I made a picnic and headed off to a little cove for the evening:

I am still working hard but loving it and who wouldn't working somewhere like this, or not like this but this:

Loving life here and savouring every moment.  Everything seems to have slipped into place here and however long that lasts it feels great.

Akroa does Africa

Everyone knows about it, but no one really knows why or how or who.  But someone has created this amazing sculpture and plopped it on a hill just outside of town

.

He is so awesome, down to the gear stick for his tial and the birdie on his head.  Spent ages working out all the different parts that had been used.  Very tempting to make friends for him.
Apparently there is a Giraffe somewhere, but no one seems to know where..............
