Vacations-Away

New Zealand - South Island    Our Route     Picton

We crossed the Straights from Wellington, North Island to Picton, South Island.  As we neared the end of our trip across the Straights, we spotted land  and the seas calmed. 

       The rainbows continued to arch in the sky.               Rounding the point of land we entered Queen Charlotte Sound and moored in Picton      Top

Picton - Queen Charlotte Sound (Momorangi)  

Picton  is a quaint seaside town and the port of entry to the South Island.  We had lunch in the park overlooking the harbour, rented a car and traveled to Momorangi Bay to visit our friends, Wendy and Ross.      

     Green-lipped Oyster Plant   As we drove toward Momorangi Bay, we passed by a large muscle Plant.   We remembered the great bucket of muscles we had devoured while in Auckland;  we continue  to order them at the Fish Market in Palo Alto. Top
