Three highly valued working dogs, out for a drive with their owner family, a farmer couple and young daughter. All three stock dogs trained to run herd on sheep, and much prized for their pedigree, as well as skills.
Our destination for the next two days – Akaroa Harbour.
Akaroa was originally a French settlement in the 18th century. When the British discovered that the French Government were despatching shiploads of settlers, they rapidly laid claim to the South Island. Had they not done so, today the South Island might well be a French colony. As it was, the French came and settled anyway, leaving Akaroa with a distinctly Francophone flavour.
The anticipated morning cappuccino, with a touch of daily news. . . .
And our cabin accommodation for the next couple of days . . . with yet another awesome view. . . .
. . . and a local inhabitant.
