On Monday 25th October we left Ohakune to head for the South Island. After a shopping stop in Palmeston North we spent the night in Wellington before catching the ferry the next morning to Picton.
For me this was the first big ferry trip I had done so I was very excited! We queued up to drive on at 7am Tuesday morning with our car packed full. After parking underneath we headed upstairs to look around. There were 2 cinema screens, a cafe and a bar (which wasn’t open)! It was pretty windy outside but we managed to get prime seats which were sheltered and still had a good view.
The trip itself is only 90km but it took 3 hours to complete! We spent most of it sat outside looking at the gorgeous scenery, but did go inside for a drink and some breakfast.
We drove off at Picton at 11am and started our journey down the West Coast, with an overnight stay in Westport. The next day we had a coffee stop at the Punakaiki Rocks (Pancake rocks) which are layers of limestone and no one really knows why they have formed that way. Then we continued driving to Hokitika where we arrived at the farm.....
