Saying bye to the people leaving was sad again :( Its amazing how close you get to people in a matter of days!! We were so gonna miss them. Got dropped off at the ferry terminal by Lucky and Scotty and off we went to the south island. 3.5hrs later we would be there. We all seemed to sleep on the ride across and luckily it was a smooth one. Did wake up at some point and go out to enjoy the views. :) So much green!

We got off the ferry to be greeted by our new tour guide ET....or Nick hehe. And also our new bus called princess!! We didn't have new people joining us so there was plenty of room to spread out.

Our first stop this morning was at Marahau for some wine tasting. I don't think any of us were ready to drink loads of wine as it was nearly lunchtime and we were all really hungry. The wine was going straight to our heads and we didn't even like it much. Think we've acquired a taste for the cheap old stuff and not this nice expensive stuff we were tasting lol. Not sure they were impressed that none of us bought any hehe.

Anyhow onto Nelson for some lunch...woohoo :) We had a new morning and after morning song on this bus. Slice of heaven and lying in the gutter. Im sure I'l introduce you guys to this music at some point!!

After lunch was the drive upto Abel Tasman National Park. We were staying at the campsite there where we had little cabins to sleep in. Was kinda cool and surrounded by mountains. Had a bbq in the eve followed by a nice stroll. Along the stroll we got distracted by the bar and headed in there instead for a few drinks before bed lol.
