Wellington – Picton Ferry- Pelorus Bridge

The sun had
come out again today and the ferry crossing to Picton was beautiful.
We sat in the warm sunshine on deck soaking up the views for three
hours and chatting with another female cyclist who was going from the
Cape to the Bluff but following a somewhat different route to ours.
It would seem that we have to be prepared for some wet days on the
West Coast but for now all is great. The views cycling along Queen
Charlotte's Drive were stunning. You wanted to stop on every bend to
take another picture only to realise that you can't really capture it
all in a photo.
I had a very
lucky escape today. I didn't assemble our stove correctly and when it
wouldn't light I leant right over it to see what was going on when a
huge flame shot out and burned my fringe off. Luckily I was wearing
glasses ( two pairs in fact, sunglasses on top of reading glasses) so
my eyes where safe. I just look even more of a mess. We camped up at
Pelorus Bridge. Right by the river. Apparently this is where
one of the
scenes in the Hobbit was filmed (In the 2nd Hobbit film
where they travel down the river in barrels ) Another good day.
