late night in Picton

November 6th, 2006 at 12:37 am by mike

It’s about 12:30 in the morning and we are staying in a nice little backpackers in Picton. Picton is the port town in the south island that the ferries all go to from Wellington. You’d think a port town with this much traffic would be big, but no. It’s a quiet little town with a main street that’s about three blocks long. The place we are staying in is called the Juggler’s Rest, and sure enough, there are juggling batons for use out front. We have a nice little wood shack next to the house, which is actually nicer than it sounds. It is very new, and smells nicely of wood, and has a rather comfy bed. The house is fairly small, but very clean, and the guy running the place seems to run a tight ship, if somewhat informal. Checkout is 10:30, or thereabouts, if we run a little late, eh, that’s okay. We spent two nights here, doing some resting and catching our breath in this quiet, peaceful atmosphere. We finally got some wireless internet, but it took a day and a half to get it going. So there are some pictures up on flickr, although we have lots more that will have to wait. Too many to put up all at once.
The ferry ride over was not the most pleasant. The ship was really big, possibly the biggest ship either of us has been on. Despite this, the wind had it tilted at an awkward angle almost the whole ride over, which apparently is pretty normal. Although, according to the guy running this hostel, the sea was so bad once that the ship almost capsized and the 3 hour crossing took close to 9 hours. Can’t wait to take it back.
Tomorrow we head south, and maybe stop off in Blenheim for some wine tasting at one of the vineyards. Then on to Kaikoura, the whale watching capital of New Zealand. Will we go on one? Tune in to further episodes to find out!
