8: Akaroa

Street sign in Akaroa 

Akaroa is one of the towns in New Zealand that most clearly shows our colonial history, with its many reminders that we very nearly became a French-speaking colony.

    There was a cold southerly in the morning when I left Okains Bay Elly, but the sunshine came out for a beautiful warm afternoon in Akaroa, with lovely blue skies!

    Je ne pense pas qu'il y a des gens qui parlent français. C'était un petit ville. Mais j'ai parlé un peu de français avec un autre visiteur qui a voulu des directions. J'ai identifié son accent. Il a été étonné !
