A Ferry Tale

Friday we took the Inter Island ferry from the north island of New Zealand to the South Island. Being veteran ferry riders from Washington State, we weren't sure what more to expect, but it was awesomely beautiful as well. The day was perfect for the 3-1/2 hour ride---aquamarine water set under a sky of blue. We arrived in Picton, a picturesque little town off the Queen Charlotte Sound in time to check into our B&B and walk to town for a bowl of seafood chowder.
