New Zealand - Wellington to Picton

May 21 - 22, 2003 (Wellington & Picton, New Zealand)
Crossing between the North Island and South Island from Wellington to Picton. The car rental arrangement was nice as we were able to drop the car off in Wellington and pick up a new one after we arrived in Picton.

The hostel was fairly decent, clean and we had our own room and bathroom too.

We ate at the Tug Boat on the Bay restaurant, a nice seafood restaurant on a tug boat on the water.

We drove to the Omega rental car lot to return our rental car. We would take the ferry over to Picton to pick up a new car. How are they going to get these cars out!?

Wellington's city nickname is "Windy Wellington" and here's Jen with some proof of that.
