Akaroa State of Mind

This is Sam, coming from the Bon Accord Hostel in the small town of Akaroa. The first half of the group have safely completed the 4 day Banks Peninsula Track.



The tramp was great, with some great hikes and lots of penguins to see. The weather was generally pretty good. A storm moved in last night, but we were well setteled in to our huts by then. I imagine the second group was as well.

So my half of the group will have a free day here in Akaroa while we wait for the other half to finish the tramp, then we will drive back to Christchurch for the night. From there, we will mive onto the Abel Tasman Track.

This picture is from our flight from Sea-Tac as we were approaching Los Angeles.

We arrived at LAX not too long ago. Our flight to Auckland is on time, and we should depart for our roughly 14 hour flight at 10:00 pm. Current weather forcasts call for 75 degrees with showers in Auckland.

Next stop: New Zealand!
