Picton, South Island - The interisland ferry is right behind me...I had just gotten off the ferry from Wellington, about 3.5 hours journey. It reminds me of fishing towns on Vancouver Island. Picton is a small community but it thrives given that it is the 'jumping off' spot for almost every tourist who comes to the south island. Those who boat that is...people do fly but many take the interisland ferry for the scenery.
