Lyttelton

Due to terrible weather in McMurdo, our flight was delayed 24 hours. To pass the time, we took the bus towards Lyttelton, and walked over the Bridle Path. This is where early settlers crossed from the port towards Christchurch.

Obligatory start of trail photograph

Enthusiasm is high

Partway up

At a viewing area at the crest of the bridle path

Panorama

Looking down into Lyttelton

Lyttelton

A little town, with a port (and confusing spelling)

King of the rock

Or at least of some rock somewhere

Me and some scenery

And ocean way in the background. By Ed.

Upwards

To the large building at the top, where the gondola goes

On the gondola building's deck

With some sun

Anne descends

And wisely looks at her footing, rather than at a silly photographer
