Today I packed up my tent and drove to Picton, NZ. Picton is where I arrived by ferry on February 20th and where I'll be for the night before heading back tok Wellington and the North Island.
When I arrived in Picton, I set up my tent then headed to town as I had over a month before when I was here last. I ended up eating at the same great restaurant and likely having the same meal. It was that good, though! Then I walked around town and the park thinking over my time on the South Island. So many great memories, sights seen, and people met. The girls I met on the ferry coming over to Picton would be just a few of many great people I'd meet along the way and stay in touch with. My trip isn't over, but I feel as though I'm moving into another phase as I leave the amazing South Island and cross over to the North Island tomorrow.
