We could not have been happier to leave Wellington and it’s wet blustery weather. We took the dogs for a walk before we left and got caught in a heavy shower. Little Hunter wasn’t too keen on that and tried hiding under some bushes – we had to drag him out. We expected the ferry to be cancelled due to the winds of 150km/hour winds, but that wasn’t the case.
It seemed to take a long time to actually get on the ferry and in the end we sailed 30 minutes late. Once out in the straight the skies cleared although the wind was still pretty fierce. The sailing itself wasn’t bad though and we duly arrived in Picton. What a charming little place, so obviously geared towards the tourist trade. Can’t wait to see more tomorrow.
