Wellington

I'm in Wellington at my hotel. I survived the ferry crossing, but only just. I'm one of a proud and stoic few who didn't lose their buscuits during the crossing. The Cook Strait was incredibly choppy, with rolling waves. I don't get seasick that easily, but it was still torture. The boat was rolling all over the place. Also, it was pouring rain, so even if the boat wasn't heaving, there wasn't much opportunity for enjoying the view. That said, before we hit the open water (and the open water hit us back), we navigated the fjords surrounding Picton. It was quite beautiful, and I really wish it wasn't raining and cold, because I missed the opportunity to take pictures.
