Stray Bus Day 10 - South Island

Today we travelled to South Island, it was a long day with leaving the hostel at 7.30am to catch the ferry over to Picton on South Island. The ferry was a little rough at times, but they put a couple of films on so i watched them whilst Andrew slept most of the journey because he was still suffering from a bit of a cold he had picked up in Wellington. After a 3 hour crossing we arrived in Picton to be gretted by our new driver, Lucky. She drove us through the Marlborough wine region to Nelson for some lunch. then we went on to our night stop at the Abel Tasmen National Park. We stayed at Old Macdondalds Farm in a tiny place called Marahau. We had a chilly BBQ and some green lipped mussels for tea. I passed on the mussels as they were massive and didn't look that nice to me, but Andrew said they were lovely.
