We walked for 2 hours today. A lot of climbing on ladders and steps against the steep incline of the hill which led us to a little waterfall. The spraying water was a nice refreshment.
A cabbage tree under the blue sky.
"Who is the strongest" said the stone with a voice of authority. "Me" said the cheeky tree and split up the stone.
View from the big rock in Orton Bradley. There are many tracks here and we nearly did them all (not today though) It is always quiet in the park. You don't meet much people. It is a bit further form the city and it is a private park so you have to pay a little but it is worth every penny....eh dollar
After the walk we went for a late lunch to Lyttelton and just missed the oppertunity to go on the biggest Navy ship in NZ (9000 tonnes) , the HMNZS Canterbury. It is used to provide relief assistance in disasters
and if you are planning to make our waters unsafe you have to put up with this young man and ship
