Christchurch to Wellington

Christchurch to Wellington
A gorgeous drive north to the ferry at Picton. Sweeping curves in the road, wonderful scenery and a minimum of traffic. How can a simnple drive ...

Here you get frosting on the roads, not doughnuts

Yesterday the Tasman Sea, today the Pacific

and a seal colony beside the main highway.

Protected seals frolic and relax. (See Video)

At Picton Harbour a choice of ferries -

the conventional Interislander we took, or

the faster, but fully enclosed Catamaran Lynx

It's a car ferry, but don't take your rental car!!

Smooth sailing out to the Cook Strait

through beutiful scenery

and turn out

towards the North Island and the night.
