Travels: around Christchurch and Lyttleton

After another short flight, a very, very long custos line at midnight with six flights all arriving at once, we’ve arrived in Christchurch New Zealand. 

And we’ve also finally had a good nights sleep. 

Our delightful hostess, Heather, spent the day touring us around the most beautiful places around Christchurch  

A tunnel up the hills then a spectacular view  

He should be a model, right?

 

Then up the Christchurch Gondola for a picnic lunch and another grand view.

Heather asked us if we wanted to “go for a paddle in the ocean.”  YES!

Then we find out paddle means wading  which is plenty when you feel how cold the water is!
