I took the 9 am ferry from Wellington to Picton. The weather was a bit 'unstable' with 6 metre waves and 90 km/h gale force winds. It was like riding on a rollercoaster. Apparently there was a little earthquake in Wellington when we left but because we were on water I didn't feel anything.
So the voyage was a bit rough but as soon as we hit the Marlborough Sound it was the most beautiful adventure.
After we arrived in Picton I made my way to Marahau which took about 3.5 hours. Here I'm staying at a great hostel called Kanuka Ridge which is in the middle of Nowhere. To have WiFi I have to walk up a hill. Love it! 😊
