Penny's Big Adventure
Hi all,
I'm now back in Wellington and staying here for the next two days, whilst I wipe away tears for leaving the south island.
I wasn't able to do the Dolphin swim or Whale watching in Kaikoura because of bad weather. In a way though, I was secretly a bit relieved to avoid going out on rough waters again. The foveaux strait was bad enough for me!!!
Anyway, the Cook strait crossing was fine even though people told me it was going to be a rough journey... I just sat on the ferry and got a bit merry! Didn't notice a thing!
The views on the way to Picton from Kaikoura were really stunning. If you can imagine, you're driving along a road which, to your right, is a drop down a mountain face and to your left is a flat land where cows and sheep graze, surrounded by further mountains in the distance. The clouds hang lower than the mountain tops so everything looks capped by white cotton wool. The images will stay in my mind forever.
I love NZ and I'm gutted to be leaving - but I WILL be back!
Love
