After a week in Christchurch, which resulted in scoring one job and one apartment, we took advantage of our last weekend with the hire car and drove over to the
Banks Peninsula to stay at 'Double Dutch' backpackers in the remote
Okains Bay. We walked along the estuary to the beach on friday and then went climbing in the mountains above the harbour on saturday morning. That afternoon we went to the Francophile town of
Akaroa (the site of the failed French bid to colonise New Zealand in the 1840s).
On Sunday we drove back to Christchurch via some very remote unsealed roads, looking at the remote bays of the
Banks Peninsula and passing through
Lyttleton (Christchurch's main port).
