Today was the big day when we voyaged on the Interislander ferry from North Island to South Island. It meant an early start and we responded to the 06:00 alarm call well and arrived at the terminal on time. We met Monika who was also travelling on the same crossing, on board. No problems as the ship left on time and the sea was calm in the grey morning light. The route took us quite close to the coastline for a good hour out of Wellington.
Even Dave was glimpsed on the top deck and enjoyed himself!
South Island was visible quite dimly even before we‘d left North Island completely behind and the layer of low, grey cloud made the islands look quite mysterious.
The sun appeared just before we landed and Picton looked very picturesque.
