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.

Even though it is on the South Island, Picton is actually further North than Wellington

It's amazing how these double-long trucks just nonchalantly drive away as soon as the gates open
