LOCATION: Picton, South Island, New Zealand. Northeastern coast
WEATHER: Our hottest day so far. Sunny. Highs in 80s
We had coffee along the sea wall where we camped last night.
The campground filled up during the night. Mostly young Europeans, hiking around the island. We talked to a few, and they said they supplement their travels by working occasionally and volunteering on farms in return for free room and board. (WOOFing)
We drove east through Nelson, stopping in New Zealand's first craft beer microbrewery.
We took the scenic route, hugging the north coast, through the Queen Chatlotte Islands. Just beautiful. Our destination was Picton, a cute port town.
Picton is the location of the ferry between the North and South Islands. We hope to take the ferry to the North Island tomorrow.
We strolled around downtown and had drinks at a waterfront cafe.
After food shopping and walking back to the RV park, we were hot and tired, so plunged into the gloriously cool swimming pool. Heaven!
DINNER: Lamb burgers with feta. Side salad. Yum!
