Day 259: Jenna's Birthday!


Table for high tea

Jenna, Emma and Louisa all have birthdays in September and October.  And they are all turning 25.  So they decided to have high tea at The Sign of the Takahe to celebrate.  We got dressed up and munched delicious sandwiches whilst sipping tea and coffee and enjoying decadent desserts in a midaeval style castle.  The Sign of the Takahe used to be a road house for travelers coming from Lyttleton Harbour to Christchurch.  Now it's a restaurant.  There's also a Sign of the Kiwi (which is a cafe) and a Sign of the Bellbird (which is the remains of a stone house.)  They are all that's left of the road stops that used to serve travellers back in the day.
