The weather here in New Zealand has been a little out of character for the area we are in. It hasn't rained here for a long time but now it is certainly making up for it ...
We decided to head to Picton for the day. The route was along a really windy road with an incredible view of the Sounds. There were great deserted beaches that would have been wonderful if it was a little warmer.
Picton is a pretty, little town with a large marina and plenty of small picnic areas by the waters edge. We spent the afternoon, whilst it was raining, browsing the many cute gift shops in the town centre.
When it had stopped raining, we took a short walk towards Bob's Bay and Harbourview. It was a little muddy but amazing views!
We spent the night at a small memorial 'freedom' camping site in Picton, close to the Ferry terminal. This meant we didn't have far to travel to our ferry in the morning to the North Island...
