Off to the south island

Stayed last night just outside of wellington, since i didnt book a spot at the downtown motorhome park. Got up at 6am and drove down to the ferry quay. Waiting to load up the van, then it is a 3.5 hour boat ride over to Picton. Planning to spend the first couple days around a park named Abel Tasman then hopefully meet up with our friends we met in Canada who live near hamner springs. More to come from our adventures on the south island, supposedly the “real new zealand”
