In the world of cruise ships, tendering, often using the ship's lifeboats is a common way of providing passenger access to destinations without suitable berths. As the Holland America Oosterdam was anchored in the deep water of Akaroa Harbour, its tenders shuttled back and forth to the town. The area on New Zealand's South Island is absolutely beautiful. 200_2_P1030848

On a cruise which introduced me to New Zealand, I experienced more joy than I had anticipated. My first taste of South Island was at Akaroa which is one of the most beautiful of the many places I have seen in the world. Following the 2011 earthquake in Lyttleton (Christchurch), cruise ships stop here instead of further north. This beautiful scene is on the west side of Akaroa Harbour.
