THE PICTON FERRY

After our Wellington stay we head South to Kaikoura via the Picton Ferry

It has been 30 years since we took the ferry to Picton. Not much has changed; maybe the coffee and food are better but it is still a long wait to get the car on and the seats are still in poor condition. The good news is the views in the Sounds are still spectacular and it is well worthwhile the wait and the average facilities.
