Crossing to the South Island aka “The Mainland”

Cook strait — Crossing to the South Island of New Zealand to the Marlborough Sounds via Cook Strait

The Mainland

So it is now on to the South Island, or as the locals call it “The Mainland”, the North Island being just that island to the North!
A ferry takes you there, crossing through the Cook Strait and then sailing up the spectacular Marlborough Sounds. Lucky for me the weather was beautiful, the seas calm and there was only a northerly wind a bit on the nippy side!
