Signs of the Kiwi

On Wednesday I went with Michele's friend Heather to the Signs of the Kiwi, which is like an outpost (a café really) off of the hiking trail. We took the Sugarloaf Loop trail and saw the Littleton Harbor on one side and all of Christchurch on the other. Rather than bombard you with more scenic vista pics or mountain pics, of which I have a few hundred by now, I thought it would be nice to show you the signs.

Here is the engraving on the outside of Signs of the Kiwi. On the inside, above the stained glass windows, it reads "Merry meet, merry part...."


Outside the elaborate Signs of the Takahe building was this engraving: "Let us march on singing ever the road will tire us less."


Here (and at Sumner Beach) grouper (the fish) is spelled groper. I might have to buy a groper when I return from Kaikoura.
