Hello from Picton. In the early morning we reached our last port on the Southern Island of New Zealand. Picton is a busy ferry terminal receiving ferries from North Island – I used this route years ago. But it has also picturesque location deep in the narrow fjord. Weather is great – 25 deg, sunny with the light breeze. There are green mountains around, so I will be probably climbing one of them for the the view of the Marlborough Sound.
Later: In the afternoon I was walking up the picturesque Queen Charlotte Road climbing up the mountain overlooking Picton. Great views! Also on the other side of the ridge – there is new labirynth of channels and green hills. People from the ship offer catamaran 2 hours tour on these waters for 80 dollars pp. But I am convinced that the aerial views I registered from the road are much more impressive and… free of any charge!!! 🙂 – see my picture gallery.
