We were treated to the sight of an unexpected waterfall this morning on the way to catch the ferry in Picton. We were driving on highway 1, a narrow,winding coastal road and came around a corner to see it. Luckily, we've learned to keep the camera on our lap when driving. Often, there's no room to pull over so you have to click as you drive by. We arrived at the ferry early so we got to stroll through the shops in downtown Picton. The ferry ride was 3.5 hrs long but it's a huge ship with a food court, cinema, pub,observation deck etc on board(it even had cattle in the freight area). For $7 you could get internet service as well. We were car #7 off at Wellington, so we were happy to get on the road quickly. We drove out of Wellington and over the gorgeous Mt. Tararua Range with it's deeply grooved valleys. Again, the roads are steep and narrow with many, many hairpin curves. We arrived an hour later in Masterson, for a good night's rest at a nice, little motel. Tommorow, it's off to Mt. Bruce Wildlife Ctr. and then up to Napier, the art deco city-ooh la-la!
