We got up the next morning (after the game) at the crack of dawn to get on the ferry. We were ill prepared. I didn’t realize that we had to park our camper van next to few semi’s filled with cows!!! The ferry crossing was three hours long across some crazy water. I thought we would have access to the car, but to my dismay we weren’t allowed to. On the way back I will make sure I have a book, computer, and food. They provide entertainment and food (reasonable $10) breakfasts…. We did however luck out with a okay crossing, I have heard from others that the waters can be really rough. It was cold and sunny with beautiful views.

The 6am morning following USA vs. Australia in Wellington was a ferry crossing. Deep hangovers trailed us onto the $420 round trip crossing to the South Island. This isn’t a ferry, it’s a ship, and the cruise consisted of us being ill prepared, but finding our senses by soaking in the scenery of the Cook Strait. We shared a nice breakfast in the cafeteria, read the paper instead of watching the movie “Rango” by Pixar, and sobered up with many cool deck walks, particularly as we entered the Queen Charlotte Sound of the North Island. Arriving in Picton our “cruzy camper” license plate ATD 904 was called over the loudspeaker as we were blockin a double-long cattle truck….silly us, we thought we were on a different level! We sprinted out, drove onto land, and found a German bakery where we bought “pies” of venison, chicken butter, and a potato top with beef. We love these mini-pies and wonder why we don’t have them in the States, or Costa Rica. We then addressed our sweet tooths with some carrot cake and some fudge for later. The South Island was bound to be a unique part of the trip.
Leaving the north Island
