road-trip

Sabrina’s headed to Wellington next, Lucy’s going to Picton, and I’m off to Blenheim. Wellington’s at the south of the North Island, and the ferry goes from Wellington to Picton on the northern part of the South Island. From Picton, Blenheim’s just a short busride away.

We’re all renting a car together – Lucy’s going to teach us how to drive on the ‘wrong side of the road’ and we’ve decided to leave a day early to spend some time at town along the way – probably Rotorua, Taupo and a couple of others. Sabrina has an interview in Wellington on Wednesday afternoon so we’ll plan to be there then, and Lucy and I will continue southward after.
