***** ROADS LESS TRAVELLED. We had an awesome tour with the Akaroa Scenic Mail Run, Jeff is the perfect host. We went to all the eastern bays delivering the rural mail and stopping off at local churches and halls and beautiful vistas. We highly recommend this tour, we both loved it as we probably would never have driven around some of the roads we travelled also the stories he were told about the settlers, locals and district were wonderful.Victoria G
