Wellington - North Island

Monday, July 5.  Yesterday we had our longest drive of the trip -- Franz Josef to Blenhiem -- 7 hours in all.  This morning we took a car ferry from Picton on the South Island to Wellington on the North Island. 

It was a large car ferry and the trip took 3 hours.  We did not take our rental cars on the ferry -- instead we dropped off ours before we left and picked up new ones when we arrived.  Wellington is the capitol of New Zealand and there are many things to see.  We toured the parliament buildings this afternoon and plan on shopping and museums tomorrow.
