Passing a smaller ferry at Pictin!
After getting off the ferry, we picked up our car in Pictin, a small harbor town that hosts the main ferry line from the north. From there, we dropped south to the Marlborough region near Blenheim, a wine producing area. We stopped at a couple of wineries along our route and sampled some very nice wines, and had a nice lunch.
On to Nelson, a moderately sized city where we came to the finest hotel of our trip. Built to resemble a French chateau, the hotel looked out over an estuary flowing into the sea.
The restaurant next to it was also very nice, but a bit to pricey for dinner, so we blundered our way into Nelson and found a decent café. We did have a fine breakfast at the place the next morning, then departed for Franz Josef Glacier
