Picton with it's sound and harbour.
The park at Picton had a little train.
The waterfront at the park at Picton
Horsing around at Picton before getting on the ferry to Wellington.
The kids playing at the vineyard.
The Marlborough region is the Napa Valley of New Zealand.
The Interislander ferry loads cars, sheep, and people for a 3 hour ride across the body of water in between the North and South Islands.
The view from the back of the boat as we left the South Island.
Claire and I on the top outdoor deck of the ferry on this beautiful afternoon.
It got windy later when Phillip came up as we moved into the North Island.
We made it to the windy city of Wellington to see Rus.
A great time was had at Uncle Rus as we watched movies, ate out, and caught up on the National College football championship game (on DVD of course).
Many have commented that New Zealand is more of a vacation than a mission. I guess our pictures from the 2 week vacation might suggest so. Ours was a short summer holiday compared with most who take 3 to 4 weeks off. It was a perfect 2 weeks for us, not too short and not to long. We were tired but went back to work last week. I promise there is work here but the pictures aren't as pretty. Lynn has had a very busy 2 weeks back at work as the first Northland respiratory therapist started from Auckland and his pulmonology replacement arrived from South Africa. He felt excited to see things coming together after 9 months but awkward to train your own replacement for a job you really like.
