LOCATION: Picton, South Islsnd, New Zealand in northeast coast
WEATHER: Beautiful. Windy in Wellington
We decided to "cross the ditch" and take rhe 3 1/2 hour ferry ride to Wellington on the North Island. The trip was beautiful, passing through many islands in the Marlborough Bay, then across the Cook Strait to Wellington.
Parts of the trip were through narrow straits, such as here when we passed a ferry going the other way.
It was lunchtime when we arrived, so we found a popular craft beer pub. We split an interesting dish, mushrooms on toast with goat cheese.
We walked around Wellington, the capital of New Zealand. It was super windy. We visited the Wellington Museum which had been highly recommended, and it was very well-done. We strolled around the quay...
Then, back to the ferry for the ride back to Picton.
Nice day! We are glad we made the trip.
DINNER: Since it was late, I just threw together a quick pasta dinner, with the grilled lamb, onions, spaghetti , and feta.
