Ferry and that
We were up early in the morning and joined our new bus, driven by Bridgette, to get the ferry across to the South Island. The ferry was about 3 and a half hours long and I took the opportunity to get some sleep and take in the stunning views as we went into the harbour in Picton.
After we had crossed we had a fairly long ride to the next place we were staying, Kaiteriteri. The Sun was out and there were some really pretty vineyards en route. Our hostel was set in ...

... be på, at der blev fundet en løsning. Vi er jo ret glade for det der spontanitet og ikke-at-vide-hvad-dagen-bringer (pånær når vi gerne vil vide det), så vi valgte at tage med bussen og håbe på det bedste. Heldigvis kom der da én optur, da vi stoppede et stykke oppe ad kysten, for at se sæler. Og I kan fandme tro at der var sæler - store som små, unge som gamle, det var et fantastisk syn! ...
