MISSED

We missed out on taking the gondola ride because of the heavy mist that clouded out the hills around Christchurch.

What should have looked like this ...

... turned out to be like this all day.

Never mind. After driving to the top of the summit and deciding that it made no sense to take a gondola ride where we couldn't see anything, we decided to complete our driving tour to ...

New Brighton.

Then to Sumner:

And on to Lyttelton ...

Before returning home to Mount Pleasant:

Thank Robert's god for Sat Nav as we couldn't see where we were going and would have become hopelessly lost without it.

We're back home in comfort now and enjoying a nice cuppa. We'll head out again before 5PM to return the car and stay in town for dinner.
