So so far away.

I've had a lot of Lyttleton lately. It's not bad thing, actually it's quite the good thing. Lyttleton is quiet and peaceful, quaint and insane (I would like to give an enormous colourful prize to whoever designed the roads there), and just so darn pretty. The buildings and houses sit tall, crumbling over each other ready roll down the hills and fall into the sparkling waters of the Harbour. It'll happen.

The only downside for me is it's so far away. Oh so far away. The journey their involves quite a commute really, and even longer if you take the public transport option (which I would actually recommend... the busdrivers on the number 28 are usually lovely). It makes sense then that Lyttleton stays so calm. You can't be stressed going there. You KNOW it's going to take a long time, so you just have to learn to be patient, and in doing so, decompress.

On Thursday night it was Custard Bears turn for a gig in Lyttleton. Marking our second gig in a bar, we were invited to play the cozy half-undergroud El Santo by Tono and the Finace Company (who are sick puppies).
