Bob Morriss I am trying to rent a car in Akaroa for one day March 25. I am hoping to drive to Clearwater Golf Course to play golf. I am on a cruise and in port from 7 AM to 7 PM. I cannot find a car rental office.

Dad & Flower Anyone else notice how I got the blame there?

Pa Never thought I'd see the day when Hugh would lower himself to a one horse power cross country vehicle!

Helen love the photos looks like you guys are having an amazing time xxx

Emma-Jane Great to see what you are both up to. Have you looked into the Real Journey Doubtful Sound overnight cruise trip yet? Best of luck with your Bungy jump tomorrow. See you very soon, take care E-J x
