Day 142 Picton, New Zealand

Well today was a first for me, first time to Picton…..  It is our only stop on the south island of New Zealand.  It was a lovely, very small, town.  Tought to get lost here.  The place is loaded with scenic hiking trails which is how I started my morning.  It’s nice to get a bit of exercise and see some beautiful scenery at the same time.  The rest of the day was spent walking around town and sitting for drinks with friends.  I ran into Allan & Sandra along the way and hung out with them for a while.  We also ran into Ellen & Aart who were also enjoying their day.  It was a very laid back day fro us but after a week of port stops it felt good.  We now have 3 days at sea before we arrive into one of my favotite ports, Sydney, Australia.  Now just hope that the Tasman Sea gives us a smooth crossing….
