A wonderful winter day

On this beautiful winter day we had a drive around Lyttelton Harbour


William inspects the water of Lyttelton Harbour, an inlet in banks Peninsula

View on Charteris bay

The new Godley café next to where the Godley House used to be in Diamond harbour

This is called the toast rack by the locals, located at Purau bay

A little church (1868) in Rapaki Bay. In the background we heard beautiful singing from the people at the Marae (communal place). Rapaki Bay always has been occupied by the Ngai Tahu Maori tribe

  2. Hi Marja .. what a beautiful place - loved seeing the photos of the area.

    I knew where it was because of Joseph Banks, the botanist, as Cook named this area of NZ after him ..

    Love the toast rack - aren't they fun .. and the little church .. it looks similar to some in South Africa ..

    Great fun - and so lovely that I can't believe it's cold! Cheers Hilary

  6. I love the “toast rack” … it made for a fantastic shot, didn’t it? This is not a winter that many of us around the world experience … so mellow, so crystal clear and so seemingly warm in the sunny spots!
