Recently took a drive inland to visit Castle Hill.  This spot is named after the limestone rock formations, reminiscent of an old, run-down stone castle.  Pictures barely do these mammoth monuments justice. I tried to capture other people in the pictures so that you can have a frame of reference on the size of the rocks.

Akaroa

Akaroa is a small French village on the Banks Peninsula. Very small actually, with only 567 residents, 30% of which are 65 and older.
