A sleep in was followed by a great day of discovery starting with coffee at Lyttleton Port then a ride to Diamond Harbour and onto Akaroa for lunch which was delicious as was Akaroa and then back from there on the Summit Road and the views throughout the day were spectacular from dry rugged hills and farmland to rocky crags, deep green forests and ocean and inlets in all directions, oh and did I say awesome riding?

 

The tunnel entrance to Lyttleton.

 

And a look across the Port which has a lot of logs built up given the Chinese manufacturing industry has somewhat stalled with virus issues.

A quirky Silo Motel in Little River. I've seen apartment buildings in large concrete silos but not something like this.
