Saturday 7th March 2009

Got up at 6.30 and presented ourselves at the Whaleway Station for our trip. Unfortunately there was no change in the weather, and the warnings for seasickness were severe. We were offered a flight instead so took a 30 minute trip in a 6-seater.
Flew over whales and dolphins but the pictures taken were not that brilliant – added to which the batteries ran out in the camera!!


We then drove to Picton, deposited our car at the terminal and caught the 2.30 ferry to Wellington in North Island The “cruise” took 3 hours. As you can see the journey was tiring for everyone.
We picked up our new car on the other side and then thought we were back home with all the traffic and one-way systems in the city. We eventually found our hotel and were booked into a room on the top floor (16th) The view was amazing. By the time we had sorted ourselves out there was just enough time for dinner before bed
