South to North

This has been a long day - 12 hours but 3 of those were spent on the InterIsland Ferry.


The ferry leaves Picton and goes out into the Cook Strait through the Queen Charlotte Sound - again a really lovely journey (apart from the days when the sea is rough!)


Picton reminded us of the South of France - it was sunny with lots of pavement cafes - after 3 weeks in the van it was surprising how quickly we slotted back into that way of life!






and of course always the odd problem - this is sorting Sarah out who has an issue with Sky back at Oakmoor:o)







and then onto the ferry -















So we are now well on our way to Auckland.....we arrived at the current campsite at 9:00pm so have not yet seen our surroundings. We have completed the bulk of the journey so hoping to break the day up tomorrow as we complete the journey north.
