Across the ditch

A second morning in Picton. The sun is back out and conditions are fine. We go for breakfast out at the Seabreeze cafe.
Before too long we are checking in to the Blue Bridge ferry to get across to the North island. The boat trip lasts for a solid three hours. Despite the gentle swells some passengers were a bit ill. Maybe that kid shouldn't have eaten that burger and chips. Protip: go outside, stare at the horizon.
Arriving in the evening at Wellington we have an hour to explore Te Papa (Museum of Wellington) before it closes at 6pm. Best, most interactive museum ever, and free to boot. A must see for anyone and especially curious kids.
After getting kicked out of a closing Te Papa, we choose somewhere to dine out on the harbour. A nice italian restaurant and quiet on this Sunday night. We took advantage and trialled some local wine and beer.
That night we return to our accommodation at Wellington Waterfront Motorhome Park. A very different "park". Essentially a carpark with power points and amenities. But right in the CBD of Wellington.
