On to the South Island

A delayed crossing due to problems with an earlier boat meant that the ferry we were on took a longer, less rough route for the crossing. We headed straight to Nelson, which was busy due to the World Cup Cricket arriving on Monday.... Today we headed across to the west coast, to the town of Westport. Some photos from the journey below.

Wellington

We've had a couple of nice days in Wellington, staying in a really nice place just up the hill from the city centre. Weather has been kind until this evening when it has turned very windy!
