Picton

just to give you an idea of the wind...

delicious

We said our final farewells to our beloved Nelson and headed East. Picton is the ferry town that is the main connection between the North and South Islands. We were unfortunately greeted with the most bizarre weather of the trip. The drive put Ace to the test as we were blown all over the road by 75MPH winds. Ace is not as big as he seems and is easily pushed around. We survived and spent the day huddled in the back of Ace reading books, watching movies, and drinking wine straight from the bottle. The storm did not die down and we spent the night being rocked back and forth by giant gusts. Luckily the trip was salvaged by the best French Toast I have ever had (except of course my Dad's).
