Finally on the South Island

The other night, we headed to the ferry terminal around 11:30pm, after navigating the very confusing mass of one way streets in downtown Wellington. It turned out our ferry was late, not due in until 3am, when it was suppossed to be in at 12:30am. The 3 of us in our car watched 2 episodes of the OC on Chris's computer, which did help to pass the time. Once we finally got on the boat and started moving, the ferry began some brutal rocking, which made me utterly nauseous. Thankfully we got through the ride and started driving at 7am. The lighting was very pretty cascading over scenery again similiar to inland BC, and then the nasty curves suddenly began. The road kept doing sharp switchbacks and I ended up having to pull over for a bit. We finally rolled into Nelson around 8am and then spent the day napping and such. Today we have to prepare to go on our 5 day hike starting tomorrow morning, so there is some grocery shopping to be done!
