| Lincoln Saturday Winter Market |
We awoke to frost on the windscreens, but there was sun in the sky! We set out after brunch to taken the local Lincoln town Market which occurs once a month in winter on a green near Hillyer's Bakery. The theme was a books sale and there lots of locals out for the big event in this small town of 3,000.

We then loaded up in the Gatorwaka (after a tea break at Hilyer's) and headed to the Port Hills for a hike near Omahu Bush. Beautiful day - sun shining, birds singing (bellbird Korimako), and better nate than lever (inside joke - literally). Even had a close encounter with an ewe and her lambs. From our vantage point, we could see Lyttleton Harbour, Christchurch, and the southern alps. We hiked up to a viewing point through gorse, five finger, and bracken fern. We ventured down to Governor's Bay and spent some time catching crabs and watching the tide come in.

We returned home via the Lyttleton Tunnel (trying to hold our breath!). Our first day of full sunshine!
Cheers! - Mark
