We posted our Christmas cards today - hope they arrive on time!
Got the ferry ovet to Picton from Wellington at 1pm - lovely smooth crossing and great views of the Marlborough Sound. Stayed the night in a really lovely hostel and met some nice people.
Left the next morning and it was roasting hot. Cycled along Queen Charlotte Drive - spectacular views that reminded me of the west coast of scotland but sunny! Emma and Michael overtook us and we stopped for a chat. We planned to cycle all the way to Nelson but due to photo taking, blazing heat and head wind that felt like a hairdryer, we stopped half way and camped at a beautiful campground at Pelorus Bridge. We had a swim in the river, which was very refreshing! We then went for a walk to see some waterfalls (I think we are addicted to exercise!). We met our first Weka bird - large, nosey and cheeky (looks a bit like a kiwi but without the big nose).
