Day 13 - Plimmerton

Early blog today. I wasn't sure how I was going to sleep knowing the challenges ahead of me today. Managed well and left the Koromiko NZMCA park at 6 am.
First time I have driven the campervan in the dark. Almost daylight. The park is 10 minutes from Picton.
My main concern was getting to the Bluebridge terminal. What does Dr Phil say - what we fear we create? I did take a couple of wrong turns but easily fixed. Very happy to be in the queue to get on board the ferry. I was in the large vehicle lane, the car in front must have missed that notice board..!
I booked through the NZMCA and the operator needed to see my membership card so have to dive back into my handbag to get that. I didn't have a print out of my ticket. Not sure if they go on the reg plate or the booking number. Easy.
It was amazing what was going on the ferry. A portaloo, spa, wheelbarrows, fencing gates and who knows what else.
No problem driving on and finding my spot.
Very foggy and cold. I did go outside for a short time but didn't stay long. No problems with sea sickness.
I haven't been on a ferry since the boys were young. Probably 38 years ago and we were only passenger, no vehicle.
Interesting how some chose a window seat and sat on their phones and tablets.
The fog did lift. The sea was pretty calm.
Arrived in about 11am and I did have to turn inside the boat/ship in the camper to leave. Tons of room even for my driving skills.
Drove to the NZMCA at Plimmerton without a problem! Took the old main highway.
I can de-stress now. I have done it. Thank you to everyone that had more confidence in me than I had in myself. A challenge I faced and succeeded.
Will stay here for two nights before heading to LevinRead more
