Akaroa, New Zealand

travelingsomm (65) in landscapephotography • 7 years ago

Taking a break from wine-touring in New Zealand, this was one of the best decisions we made! Akaroa is a very small French settlement southeast of Christchurch on the South Island, with a population of only 625. Make sure you sign up for a tour to go see penguins in the wild. It's quite difficult to do it on your own (you'll definitely need 4WD!)

This picture is from above the town looking down, while on that tour.

Thanks for your support!

Penguins are so often seen here as a comparison or image, when they say about certain behavior - often pretty. But I did not get the idea to really study these animals. It's interesting, thanks.

It is a country of contrasts and hundreds of places to know. It is rather small, but it has a geography and impressive landscapes. Thank you for the beautiful picture, it seems of tumblr♥

@berniesanders @grumpycat @wtf.. #abuse.. @hendrix22 @morten @geronimo @thejohalfiles @thesloth @steemcleaners @ The rewards on these posts are getting somewhat excessive and if not curbed will be the wine travelling haejin.. Multiple posts of little substantive content and disproportionate rewards payout.. ???????? Someone with some horsepower needs to give this a look..

Really this is a $200 post??

Yup, kinda figured that is how that would go, high rewards, no stake, no investment in the site, typical shithead behavior..

I don't think so. It should be flagged. On the other hand I spent a lot of time in sharing good content but still don't get on how Steemit works: https://steemit.com/travel/@smartbackpacker/traveling-the-balkans-1-romania

New Zealand is definitely one of my favorite countries. Can you believe it was my first ever international trip?! What a country for a first international holiday right? It was also my first travel with my husband. Makes it all the more special. We did a 15 day campervan road trip of the entire length and breadth of the south island and I'd say New Zealand spoiled us rotten. The experience is unmatchable. Akaroa was indeed beautiful! Such fond memories from that holiday! :)

So good @travelingsomm. I really want to visit New Zealand someday, the landscape looks so inspiring and slightly similar to that of here in the UK (much better I imagine). Hopefully I can go soon :) Keep up the good work.
