A stunning drive along the top of South Island from Nelson to Picton along the edge of two Sounds- Pelorus and Queen Charlotte.
We stopped for a coffee in Picton before boarding the ferry. A good 3-hour journey through the Queen Charlotte Sound and the Cook Strait into Wellington.
Arrived at our campsite just outside Wellington and enjoyed a barbeque dinner and free spa. :-)
Sat 2nd February- a busy day in Wellington.
Got the bus into the city centre and visited 'Te Papa'- NZ's National Museum. Fantastic insight into the story of NZ and all who live here.
We then got the cable car to the top of the Botanical Gardens. Fab views overlooking Wellington. Enjoyed our picnic lunch in the park before walking back through the park and historic cemetery back into the city.
An interesting wander around the city observing people in various fancy dress costumes to celebrate NZ International Sevens tournament currently taking place. Some very colourful characters!

Its been lovely to look at all the photos- having a camper van looks like it means you're able to experience and see a lot of the place, some wonderful views and you are both looking really well. Had a lot to read as I haven't checked out the blog for a while but it's been great to see what you both have been up to..think I would have given the kayaking a miss too!! Ang xxx
