Marlborough

I visited Marlborough several times, as well as lived and worked there for a period. I made several trips to Picton since that is where the ferry service connects the South Island to the North Island. The following photographs are from my first visit to Picton (on 2 November 2016) and taking the ferry from there to Wellington (on 3 November 2016). This is quite typical; barring any exceptional experiences, the first visit is the most memorable – thus the reason for no later photographs taken during my subsequent trips to Picton and across the Cook Strait.
