These next photos are from the sculpture and mosaic garden
of Josie Martin, called “The Giant’s House.” The house was built in the 1880s,
using New Zealand woods and a mahogany staircase imported from France. Josie, a modern artist, uses her house and hillside
garden to create whimsical figures and pathways constructed out of ceramic pieces
and glass bottles. The garden is planted and maintained to complement the
sculptures and mosaics.

We stopped at the L’Hotel café for lunch. The special was
local green lipped mussels cooked in a white wine and garlic broth, served with
French bread. While overlooking the Akaroa harbor and accompanied by a Speights Gold Medal beer and a hearty bowl of chowder, the lunch stop was terrific.
