• Day 12 - near Picton

    14 Oktober 2024, New Zealand ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C

    I was up reasonably early this morning and away from June's just before 9am.
    The main road was bumper to bumper and instead of turning right as I wanted to I left turned up to the round about and crawled to the dump station and then on to Blenhiem. A lot of the road is 90k but I prefer to let others go ahead of me. Campervans are only allowed to go 90k.
    At Blenhiem, I filled up with fuel, parked and walked down to the Post Shop and posted some mail. Most walking I have done in days.
    Popped in to see Barbara Hayles (old workmate) and her sister from Invercargill was visiting for a few days so two Invercargill people at the same time.
    Then I went around to Pam and Roy's. Super lovely couple that I met on the road when we were parked next to one another at Waimate and then Timaru.
    I left Roy and Pam's and was very surprised at how little time it took me to get to the NZMCA park near Picton. Could have stayed longer.
    Heavy shower of rain as I arrived.
    Ready for the big day crossing the strait tomorrow and I am anxious. This is challenging my comfort zone and I hope everyone is right and I will be easier than I think. Will be a lot happier when I get to the park tomorrow on the other side of the straight!
