Christchurch to Wellington -North Island

Today we left Christchurch in the South Island, an early start, we left at 6.45am for the long coach journey (with stops) to Picton to catch the 2.15pm ferry across to Wellington in the North Island.
First rookie error of the holiday, I forgot to check we had travel sickness tablets in our hand luggage and realised just as we got on the coach that they were packed on our suitcases that were already on the coach 🤦🏻‍♀️
Ian started feeling travel sick on the last leg of the journey, fortunately I managed to buy some travel sickness tablets en route and by the time the boat left he was much better! The boat across was calm, beautiful scenery, a few jelly fish but thankfully uneventful! We arrived just in time to make it to the Sky Stadium, a 10 minute walk from our hotel in Wellington, to watch New Zealand play Fiji in their World Cup qualifier game, New Zealand won 7-0, Ian was happy as the captain Chris Wood, who also plays for Forest, scored a hat trick 🙌
A good start to our North Island adventure!Read more
