September 16 Wellington - Picton - Nelson

"Get the 10am ferry from Wellington - Picton. Very windy, but beautiful crossing which takes us 3.5 hours. The scenery is breathtaking! The water is so blue and the mountains are just wow!

WELLINTON - PICTON FERRY CROSSING

Drive from Picton to Nelson along Queen Charlotte Road. It is an extremely windy road that twists and turns up and down a mountain. Kind of sickening. Definitly not for someone who gets motion sick!

Get to Nelson and get lost trying to get to our hostel cos of the one-way streets. Get there in the end.

Do very little. Net and I go to the local pub called the Prince Albert. We get asked for ID again!!! WTF!!! It's beginning to annoy me a little. We have to walk 10mins back to the hostel to get our passports. Good thing the beer is good!!
