Just over the "Port Hills" from Christchurch is Lyttleton Harbour. This is an early morning view of the upper harbour, looking south.
And here is the "Port" from which the Port Hills take their name. My great grand parents arrived here from Belfast, Northern Ireland, in January 1876. The family says:
"They carried the bags of the rich people over the Port Hills." People are a little bit class-conscious in Christchurch!
This picture is taken from west to east. You can just see the Port on the left side about half way along the shore line. I do most of my kayaking on this stretch of water, these days.
Looking north, this is Corsair Bay, a lovely spot, protected from the prevailing wind. You might just be able to see a bit yellow on the shore behind the jetty; that is my kayak.
