Day 19: Enroute to the south island

We’re off again. We left Masterton for the last time at about 10:30 and since we had about an hour to kill before catching the Interislander ferry, we found an out of the way park to explore called the Rimutaka Rail Trail. This was a working railroad from 1878 to 1955 when the built they the tunnel through the mountains between Wellington and the Wairarapa Valley (where Masterton is located). It has been converted to a 17 km long biking/hiking trail that goes through some magnificent countryside. Having only one hour to kill, we didn’t get very far up the trail before turning back, but we would loved to have been able to go much further.

The wait for the ferry to unload and load seemed interminable, but we finally got under way right on time and said our final goodbyes to the north island. The trip between the islands took about 3 hours (not counting waiting, loading and unloading time). The ferry is very comfortable with a bar, a restaurant and even a movie theater. The weather was perfect sailing weather – clear blue sky, deep blue water and unbelievable scenery. We arrived in Picton about 6 pm and proceeded directly to our lodgings, about 20 minutes away.

Tonight was laundry night, so there wasn’t much time for anything else. As we spent more time in the north island than planned, we have less time to spend on the south island and it is necessary for us to delete at least one stop on our itinerary. So we chose not to visit the local wineries in spite of their renown. (There will be lots more in Australia.) Instead, we will set out tomorrow morning for Fox Glacier which is about an 8 hour drive from our present location. Until tomorrow,
