As we drove along with eyes peeled
we went through the town of Sheffield,
On we travelled through hills higher and valleys lower
till we stopped in Akaroa.
A steep climb from the campsite down
to a very pretty seaside town.
We booked a trip
on the dolphin ship,
There's loads of wildlife to see
dolphins, seals and many birds living free.
An Italian meal in a French setting,
of a British settlement, very confusing this is getting!
A walk to the lighthouse and round the museum,
with the best fish and chips, you really should see 'em.
Early start left on the summit road
had to use second gear a load!
Arrived in Christchurch and dropped off our little van
left it with the rental man.
Up and away
the very next day
on the rails along the coast
a train journey we loved the most
Arrived at Picton and caught the ferry
off to the north Island, home to Frodo, Sam, Pippin and Merry.
