Great to arrive in Blenheim to stay with Karla and her parents - and wee Freya and Jasper. Always great to catch up with good friends you haven't seen in a long time, sleep in a real bed (!) and not wear your hair in a helmet styled bun on the side of your head.
Brancott Estate - what a massive vineyard!
Nice spot for a bit of wine tasting!
The ride from Blenheim to Picton is an easy 28km. $68 for you and your bike to get the ferry to Welllington. Great to relax in the sun for a couple of hours, eat my egg sandwiches, and people watch!
Looking out to the Sounds from the Picton waterfront.
Top Tip: Arrive into Wellington on your bike on a Sunday evening. There's no traffic and you can cruise around the waterfront and streets with ease! Off to find cousin's place in Hataitai - yes, up another hill!
