So after a quick pit stop in Auckland we were back on the road heading for the Picton ferry. The day couldnrsquot have gone any better. We left Auckland at 10am and arrived at the ferry terminal in Wellington at 6pm 640 odd kilometers in 8 hours and no traffic jams sweet as.Next stop was to the northwest tip of the South Island to visit Abel Tasman New Zealandrsquos smallest National Park.
