Diamond Harbour

On Saturday Gaby and I took a bus to Lyttleton because they have a farmer's market we wanted to check out. We have looked around for farmer's markets in Christchurch and check them out when we can. We bought a loaf of fresh baked bread and some organic tomatoes (which look like a version of roma) and then headed off to explore Lyttleton before taking the bus back home.

We decided to take the ferry across Lyttleton harbor to Diamond Harbour, a small settlement atop the bluffs. We walked around a little park and then took a look at a garden shop at the top of a hill.

Lyttleton Harbour is just south southeast from Christchurch

There seems to be a total lack of violence on this blog, and, as an American, I'm left not knowing how to react.

The orange flower is a Nasturtium. I have a bunch in my back yard. The leaves are very edible and have a peppery after taste. I like them.

Lyttletown Harbour is one of my favorite places on Earth.
