Today the ship dropped anchor in Akaroa Sound and we used tenders to go ashore. They had four tenders going at one time, so we never had to wait. The first picture is of the bay with our ship. The second picture I took from inside our tour bus as we were coming back from our tour.
We went to a sheep farm where we watched a sheep dog demonstration. The owner used a whistle to signal which way he wanted the dog to run. The second picture is after the dog brought the sheep down from the hills. The house was built in 1907 and the owners have restored it to beautiful condition. There are also great gardens as you can tell by the picture of the flower.
The view from the top of the hill is of Christchurch. We did not get to go into town because of the earthquake damage, but at least we got to see what it looks like. The gothic sytle building is a restaurant.
Tomorrow we are at sea.
