We crossed another body of water on a ferry. Although it wasn't as rough as the English channel, it wasn't smooth sailing either. We dropped our rental car in Wellington and picked up a different one in Picton (same company, same booking, but each island likes to keep their cars for themselves).
We went with Kerry and the Bubbly Grape for a fantastic wine tour outside Blenheim. It was a really cool experience. We went from well-known vineyards to a local place where the owner poured tastings for us. Cool afternoon.
Yesterday we left Abel Tasman National Park. One of the most beautiful places. It's where rolling green hills/mountains meets the ocean. We found a neat sandbar to explore and watched horses walk in the sea at low tide. The next day we tried out the beach at Kaiteriteri, played some mini golf and then discovered the coolest zipline in the park! We laughed forever riding on this thing... and it was free!
Off to the west coast of the south island for a few days. Back to our road trip norm which is Rainer driving, me in the passenger seat- which is on the left or course, but still weird. Out of the speakers we alternate between a Robert Morris study on listening to God and Dan Patrick's daily podcasts.

We also went to a chocolate shop

Zipline!
This was the best part... the big swing at the end of the line
