It's Thursdsy afternoon, 6 March and we've arrived at the ferry terminal to discover that the whole of NZ - apart from the sheltered, inner Marlborough Sounds where we've been for the last couple of days, has been battered by the worst storms for years! So much so that the ferries haven't been sailing.
They're going this afternoon though, and, much to our surprise, we've discovered that we're booked into the premium lounge - with free Wi-Fi.
I've overdosed on Kwells but am unwilling to risk the free lunch being served in lounge. Lawson, on the other hand, has taken full advantage of it. This is after we had lunch before boarding. But it is now 4 pm.
I might risk afternoon tea once I get my sea legs.
Got to go; we're underway.
ABOUT US
ABOUT US
We are from Cornwall, England.
We love to travel and to explore places in a campervan. We find wide open spaces exhilarating
and do lots of walking. Show us an accessible hill or mountain and we want to go up it.
We like watching birds but are not twitchers. To be honest Lawson is more into bird spotting than me but what I find amazing
is the diversity of birdlife, and the fact birds of all sizes continue to live side by side with us humans. So, in the course of our explorations
we may make a detour to the local dump because more often than not it will be one of the best places to see birds.
We are sure New Zealand will not disappoint us when it comes to birds but what about other wildlife and natural wonders?
Will we encounter anything to beat the sight of polar bears on sea ice at the North Pole?
And what will we think of the house at Paraparaumu that Ron and Vivien have built? All will be revealed.......
