Hello everyone,

We are now in Picton, the ferry terminal and town of the South Island. The ferry was lovely and very comfy. It was so funny watching this old couple who couldn't decide where to sit and took nearly 2 hours of the 3 hour trip to finally get comfy. Old people eh! So we have just picked up a car from the terminal for 3 days again. Its a slightly older car but bigger and more comfy, so why not! We aren't staying here and shall start the drive down to Christchurch where we'll hopefully hire a campervan for the rest of the trip.

Not sure where we'll stop again, we'll just see how far we get.

Lots of love Gemma, Darren and George xxx xxx xxx
