Brighton Beach

Caught the bus after supper to take our first look at Brighton Beach. About 10 minutes from city center. The camera does not do it justice. The view goes on forever. Some of the deep background is of the Southern Alps but the camera cannot pick it up.

Sumner to Lyttleton Hike

Friday was a day to die for. Sunshine, temperature in the mid twenties with a breeze blowing off the sea. In a moment of madness we decided to walk over the hills to Lyttleton. Bus driver said it would take about an hour. In a car perhaps. We saw people of all ages even in their seventies biking...

Late Sunday evening we decided to take the bus out to the Brighton Pier. It was a busy day as we took in a trip to a classic car show more to see a bit more of Christchurch and some of the outer suburbs. This xk 120 is a daily driver. No rust at all. Buses run through a central exchange with...

Lytleton

With bus passes in hand we caught the number 7 and set out for a day trip to the volcanic town of Lytleton. Glenna thougt it odd that people would pay $ 25.00 to take a Gondola to the top of the mountain when we were going to do it for $ 2.00 each on the bus. She soon found out the road to...
