Today we had to catch our bus at 8am which took us to the ferry port. We caught the 9.30am crossing over to Picton on the South Island. It took 3 hours and our bus was waiting for us the otherside, very efficient! The bus continued for a couple of hours until we arrived in Nelson, Nelson is supposed to be the sunshine capital of NZ we're hoping it lives up to its reputation. The hostel we are in is lovely, it has a swimming pool, spa and sauna!
