Today (Feb 22nd) we crossed from North Island to South Island on the Interislander ferry. This went from Wellington to Picton via Cook Strait, Tory Channel and Queen Charlotte Sound. The scenery on this trip (3hrs) was breathtakingly beautiful - mile after mile of unspoilt coastal fjord scenery with untouched forests reaching down to shimmering turquoise coloured waters. The bright and sunny weather helped, of course. We then drove 110 spectacular kms to Nelson which is the gateway for the Abel Tasman National Park area. Nelson is a handsome city with hanging flower baskets everywhere in the main streets.
