The ferry crossing from the South Island to North is a dramatic affair, as so many things are in New Zealand!

The first section is a beautiful cruise through the amazing Queen Charlotte Sound, a tourist destination in its own right and full of tiny isolated communities linked only by boat.
Picton is the starting point, with a Bluebridge ferry docked up and ready to go.
The water is glassy-smooth...
And here is the ferry approaching the tiny, narrow opening which leads out to the Cook Strait and open sea. At first it doesn't look like it will fit!
We had some company on the Strait crossing. Fortunately it wasn't too rough...
And here's the ferry heading right in the heart of Wellington.
