At Akaroa
The last day of our holidays in New Zealand. It is sunny, blue sky….and hot!
This is the only day of such weather greeted us for the past 8 days in NZ …and I don’t like this “so good” weather because it is scotching hot under the sun although the temperature is about 15 degree C.
I count our blessings for the past 8 days of cloudy, short sun sunshine, rain and cool.
Today we went to a place out of the beaten track, Akaroa in Banks Peninsular, about 80 kms away. Nothing special to mention until we reached the end of the winding and mountainous road - a beautiful Frenchy seaside resort town – Akaroa.
I guessed majority of the population are French descendants. I saw French flag flying in many buildings and houses.
We have fish and chips, authentic NZ Fish and Chips, for lunch.
At 8:30 pm, we went out for Burger King, authentic NZ beef burger, for dinner.
We are busy packing because we are flying back to Sydney tomorrow morning on 7:00 am flight.
It is a wonderful holidays for us！
Before leaving New Zealand, a thought and prayer to the 29 miners trapped underground. God have mercy. Mother Mary pray for them and their families.

今天是我们纽西兰假期的最后一天。太阳高照，蓝天晴朗，非常的热。
这是我们在纽西兰八天里，第一天有这样的天气迎接我们。
但是我认为我们非常幸运的在过去的八天里，有时多云，有时短暂太阳及下雨，但都很凉爽。反观今天，整天都是艳阳高照，走在户外，虽然只有15度，但阳光刺人，晒得头都要爆裂，皮肤干燥，我不喜欢这样的天气。（我们的国家天天都有！）
今天我们到一个不是很多游客的地方 – Akaroa， 离开基督城大约80公里。
路上没有什么特别的景观，但在弯曲及斜陡的公里尽头，出现了一个充满法国风味，环境优美的海边休闲胜地 – Akaroa.
我才猜想这里这里的人口，大部分该是法国移民的后裔。这里许多商店及住宅，都挂上法国的国旗。
我们在那里享用了道地风味的鱼扒及薯条午餐。
晚上八点半，我们出外购买道地的Burger King 汉堡包作为晚餐。
我们现在忙着收拾行李，因为明早将乘搭七点的班级，回到澳洲的悉尼。
这是个难忘的假期！
在还没有离开纽西兰之前，我特别记得因地下煤矿爆炸而受困，至今毫无消息的29位矿工。求主垂怜，圣母玛利亚请为他们及他们的家人祈祷。
