A drive along the coast

We decided to go for a picnic to Godley Head, which is about a 25 minute drive from Richmond Hill Bed and Breakfast.  



It was a spectacular day, and here are just a few of the photos I took along the winding coast drive, where there were more sheep than cars on the road.
Godley Head is an Historical site:  it was manned during  World War II, and guards the entrance to Lyttelton Harbour.     If you have seen the film The Guns of Navarone' it is a bit like a miniature version of that.   The hills are very high and very steep, and sheer.  The last photo gives you some idea of the scale, as the little white streak is a speed boat down in the bay.

It was good fun.
