The ferry leaves from Wellington and arrives in Picton - a small town in Marlborough Sounds. The landscape was very beautiful when the ferry entered the sounds. I stayed in Picton for one night and went for a walk in the sounds. The next day I got a ride to Blenheim. I didn't really like the place that much so I left as soon as I could. I thought I would try hitchhiking, so I did. Before I even tried to hitchhike a man named Ean asked where I was going as I was walking along the road. He said he could drop me off at a good place in Renwick where I could try getting a lift to Nelson, where I was headed. He also invited me to his place for some coffee. After a nice cup of coffee I got to Renwick and it would not take long before a young couple picked me up. Ruben and Sophie took me to Nelson after we had taken a swim in an amazing river. The water was green, clear and cold! :)
Nelson is the biggest city in the northern part of the south island. The city center itself isn't that big, it looks big because of all the residential areas around. I enjoyed the atmosphere the city had to offer, with the market the beautiful lookout from the center of New Zealand, the Queens gardens and more. After a couple of days I felt like it was time to get going again. I still have the rest of the south island that I want to explore! A few people were going to Marahau that day and they gave me a lift to Motueka, which is on the way. Before that, we went to the shop where the Lord of the Rings ring was made. It was a very small shop and it's quite funny that a guy from Denmark actually made the ring here in New Zealand.
Stay tuned for more!
