The South Island

This day was also a traveling day, this time buy boat the first part. It was a rather big ferry that took cars and trucks. Almost like the ferryboat to Denmark, but it did not have any stores onboard. The sea-journey took 3 hours and we landed in Picton. The first you could see was that tis island had higher mountains. I drove a bit, but since we had to go up about 5 o'clock this morning I wanted to rest a bit and Robin and Lotta drove down the coast to Kiakura where we had decided to stay. Kiakura is a small village with beach feeling, and from here you could go on many tours of different kind, like Whale watching, Dolphin and Seal swimming, White water rafting and so on.

We got information about the weather, tomorrow rain, it said and we decided to go rafting the following day. If your getting wet it doesn't matter if there was water coming from the sky also. Swimming with Dolphins where sold out until the first of mars so rafting was the best alternative. Anna took a bath in a swimming-pool and I dived deeper into a book that Susanne handled to me. I liked it, it was a book by Liam Hearn about samurais and feudal wars.
