Ferry Crossing North Island to South Island

12-01-08
Yesterday was our last day in Wellington; we visited the National Museum; unfortunately we did not have enough time to see it all because we had to catch the ferry to Nelson. Another excellent venue with lots of videos and interactive displays. Lots of info on how NZ was formed as well as animals/fish/plants/costumes/furniture, etc.
What a beautiful day it was to be on a ferry; the trip took 3.5 hrs, the sea was smooth, saw lots of sailboats, fishing boats and beautiful houses built on very rugged coastlines.
Picked up our new rental car (bigger and better than the other one) and drove to Nelson where we are staying for 3 nights. Lots of outdoor activities to do around here. Tomorrow we shall take a catamaran boat cruise to Golden Bay, where we might see dolphins, seals and various sea birds.

That's all for now.
