Daily Photo – Peninusla General Store in Akaroa

The first morning I was in Akaroa, I called into the farmers’ market and took the opportunity to have a slow wander around the various stalls. After poking my nose around for a while, I stopped at a food truck called Zed’s Shed and ordered a bacon butty for brunch before setting off in search of caffeine.

One of the good things about Akaroa is that the township is wonderfully suited to walking. Spread across several bays, you can happily spend your time aimlessly drifting in and out of shops, rummaging through shelves, or doing what I did: sit on a park bench while dripping grease and coffee down the front of my shirt, making it abundantly clear to everyone I met that I really shouldn’t be allowed to eat in public without a bib.
