Rather than hanging round Aakaroa in the rain, I short cutted over to Highway 1 and made my way down to the next tourist destination – Mount Cook.
This is NZ’s highest mountain.
I’ve heard there are some great views from here.

Akaroa
This is a view over Barry’s Bay.
I visited Akaroa on the hope of getting some work done.
Having been and left, I can confirm this is a broadband free zone.
Motorcycle Hire New Zealand
New Zealand is one of the best motorcyling countries in the world.
I took me about a week to sort it out, but i’ve managed to get hold of a motorcycle.
This is it.
Harley Davidson Roadking Classic
It’s called a Harley Davidson Roadking, and at short notice, it’s all I could get.
Never mind eh Dan.
This one has some nice aftermarket pipes. Click on the image above to hear the beast in action.
With this I’m going tour the country, take in the sights and the sounds and give you the hottest spots on the north and south Island. See what you think.

Places to Eat and Drink in Christchurch
Amongst others, I have visited these establishments.
Tap Room.
On the corner. Ducks sometimes invade the porch area and sneak around the plants hiding from the waiters who shoo them out.
Very entertaining.
Serve heated rock platter, as you can see featured on the photo. The platter is heated to a couple of hundred degrees and brought to your table with some raw ingredients, salts and spices.
It’s up to you to cook it up.
A bit more classy and slightly more low key than the other pubs on Oxford Terrace.
The Bog

Pop your head in at the end of the night.
Good place for a pint.
