Village of Akaroa

Trip Stop: 
Narrative: 

2-mile stroll around this lovely village, which was first settled by the French in 1840 before the British arrived. Oh, so that’s why the Main Street is name Rue Lavaud. Continuing along the Rue Lavaud, we eventually came to the Peninsula War Memorial, an elaborate, free-standing cupola, complete with flying buttresses and a granite spire, located at the center of a garden, guarded by tall palm trees. From there we wanted back to The Common Cafe for brunch.
