Day 37 - There was really little need to stop here but it did give an enjoyable day near the top of the southern island. Most of the population of New Zealand live on the northern island but the major connection is by the way of ferries into Picton. The city is very scenic.
The biggest claim to fame of this town of 3000 are the hiking trails and nature walks. We live in British Columbia so others may have been more impressed with the vistas and the change to see wildlife. Instead, we leisurely walked around the inhabited areas. We soaked up a little free wifi at the library. We returned to the ship early for a late lunch and a nap.
