Lyttelton Port
The ship graveyard on Quail Island
Swinging at the beach on Quail Island
Saturday morning Blaine and I decided to have a "date" and venture out to Lyttleton, a town on the other side of the Port Hills. I had heard of a market that is held on the school grounds on Saturday mornings, so we decided to check it out. They had live music, a coffee shop set up, and stands of fresh fruit/veges, homemade honey, organic cheeses, and even a man from CA selling Louisiana bbq sauce (his families' recipie). There are a lot of hippies that live in New Zealand and everyone is into organic foods, herbal remedies, etc.
We then booked a ferry ride out to Quail Island that is just 15 minutes from Lyttleton. There is a hike around the island and a few beaches. The island has been used for multiple purposes...a leper colony, agriculture, storing of animals to be taken and used in Antarctica. It was an interesting history lesson and we had beautiful weather! After returning home we met up with Jonny, Craig, Meg and Sam to eat Indian food at Tandoria Palace...yum. Overall, a wonderful day.
