Time for the North Island! Â Hopefully no more curvy, windy, one lane highway roads up steep mountainsides adorned with sheep and cattle?
We loaded up ourselves and our van onto the Interislander Ferry for the 1pm three hour journey across the Cook Strait from Picton to Wellington. We were totally over the breath-taking views, so we indulged in plenty of trashy soap operas and coffee as we cruised smoothly and comfortably into the capital city.
