To Picton

---

Today Jared, David, and I went on the early morning ferry and arrived in Picton. The trip went pretty well, I got kinda sick on the boat ride, but oh well. We then got on the train to Christchurch. It took about six or seven hours, but we bumped into Chelsea and her younger sister onboard. The train ran along the coast part of the way, so I got to take some nice pictures of Kairkora and other beach cities. After we got into Christchurch we walked for nearly an hour to our hostel, Stonehurst. It was a nice hostel, but the beds were extremely hard. We don't have any plans, so we are just gonna act very spontaneously here in Christchurch.

Yep, I still have long hair
The boat goes across the ocean at a decent speed, but not that fast. It was a very windy day... here I am outside on the deck. haha.

Leaving Wellington
Here is Downtown Wellington from the ferry.

Leaving Wellington Bay
Here is the lighthouse for the bay. The water was very choppy, as you can see by all the white caps.

Mini Rainbow
At times I could see a small rainbow, made from the mist of the wind on the ocean. If you look hard you can see it in the pic.

Marlborough Sounds
This is the scenery entering Picton. The water is navy blue and very calm. The hills surrounding us are all very green, it was very pretty.

Pic from train
This is a pic I took while on the train. It was great because we were traveling on the beach, but in the background you could see snow covered mountains. It was the first time that I could see snow from the beach, amazing!

River
Another pic from the train. We crossed over many rivers and various types of land, beaches, forests, mountains, valleys, etc.
