Crossing back

Three cheers for the car which has completed over 3,200 miles of completely trouble free motoring. Final leg took us 120 miles from Kaikoura to the port of Picton where we picked up the ferry (sister-ship, left) for the three-hour crossing to Wellington.

The Demio will be collected by company guy from our motel tomorrow morning rather than us have to return it to some out of the way depot so that’s good service. All that said we have opted for a bigger 1.5 vehicle for when we are in Tasmania. The 1,3 Demio struggled at times in the mountains. Dave
