Having intended to fly from Wellington to Nelson to reach South Island our flight was cancelled on a foggy day in Wellington so we managed to get tickets for the Interislander ferry and amend our car hire pick-up in South Island to the ferry terminal at Picton
We popped sea-sickness pills in the taxi on the way from the airport to the ferry terminal but the Cook Straits were like a mill-pond...
... and we had some delightful views as we cruised down Marlborough sound.
Even the low cloud just added to the drama of the scenery.
Despite the smooth crossing we were both pleased as the town of Picton came into view.
A sister Interislander Ferry came out of Picton as we arrived.
