SOUTH ISLAND

Josh and I made it to the South Island!


We stayed just one night in Wellington to catch the ferry to the South Island. The ferry goes to a tropical little place called Picton, where we stayed a night in a campground (we've mostly been staying in campgrounds instead of Backpackers) and did our first big walk (or hike as we call them). It was a 4-hour walk to the end where we saw some of the most majestic views of our lives. The temperature was absolutely perfect, a bit of wind, a lot of sun, and no humidity at all. We have been buying just fruits, nuts, and veges from the store and having all our meals that way to save money on eating out.

We spent yesterday and today in Nelson, and later today our new wwoofing host is picking us up and we're heading to Motueka, not far from here. Nelson is a fabulous little town (they call it a city).

My posts are out of order now since we haven't had internet access for nearly a month to upload photos, so bear with me if things don't make sense :)
