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.

Lyttelton

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

With some sun
