Another delightful route in the valley cutting through the hills. We lunch at a schoolyard. On an unusually straight road on our way into Masterton we pass vineyards.
We celebrate my birthday at the Taste Cafe with a glass of wine and a delicious salmon dinner, Peter has Butter Chicken. That evening we watch "Mission Impossible".
An early start the next day to catch the train into Wellington and then the ferry to the South Island (Picton). The train is $15 each (bikes free). We unload the bikes to lift them up into the baggage car. When we arrive in Wellington a kind lady directs across the street to the Blueline Ferry Terminal, we catch the 1PM ferry. It is a 3 hour ferry ride $65 each (including bikes).
On the ferry ride, we sit outside for awhile although it is either too windy on the front of the ferry or too hot in the sun. Inside we chat with a fellow who suffered a serious climbing accident, his good leg is prosthetic and his other leg is still healing.
After setting up camp, we ride into town to walk around the harbourfront.
