Grandmaster: Welly Trip Day 2 (cont)

From Welly to Picton

Okay..i din take a train to cross the Cook Strait to Picton..
There's no way for a train to cross the Cook Strait...
Me n Pp went to railway station as we arrived early at the Bluebridge terminal..
it was raining...n so...we had shelter in the railway station...keke..

There are act two companies providing ferry service...
Bluebridge n Interislander..
We chose Bluebridge as it is cheaper..
but Interislander had a bigger n newer ferry indeed..
Well..Budget still come first...bahzz..

This was our first time taking such a ferry...

Ship that u can always find near the harbour...

We were act kind of excited n amazed by the size of the ferry..
