We left early this morning to set out on our holiday to the South Island. We are driving to Wellington to catch the 3pm ferry over to Picton and stay the night in Blenheim.
Stopped in Carterton to break our journey. A man in the restaurant heard our accents and asked us where we were from. He was born in Glengormley but had migrated with his parents when he was 11 to NZ.... another northern irelander!
The weather in Wellington was grey... they had had a hail shower in Picton in the morning... not typical summer weather but it all made for a choppy crossing on the ferry!
Blenheim was dry... in fact very dry with the hills looking browner than Hawkes Bay!!!! They are having the drought this year!
