New Zealand 30

 We checked out very early but not before spending an hour discussing the varied postage one must pay "for the exact same item" shipped from various destinations via Ebay purchase. We were also both educated on the "proper way" to package porcelain figurines when preparing for long distance shipments. UGH!!!! 

Anyway, we booked our passage to the south island this morning via ferry and were excited to get back into the countryside. Our ferry left at 2pm so we had awhile to see a bit more of Wellie- we decided to make our way over to Parliament and the official district. Took a few pics and then made our way to the ferry landing. The weather was not too good so we spent most of the 3 hour ferry ride below deck reading and sleeping. Arrived in Picton, South Island well rested and anxious to get on our way.
