Arriving at the South Island: A month-long adventure begins

Vlog # 6: Arriving at the South Island: A month-long adventure begins

It's time for the biggest transition of the trip! In this video, I ride from the farm through to Wellington, and make a final detour for some sightseeing on the North Island before catching the ferry.

This video includes driving to the ferry terminal, but not before stopping to see the incredible Putangirua Pinnacles (the real-life Lord of the Rings scene location for the Paths of the Dead) and the dramatic Cape Palliser Lighthouse. After a smooth ride across the Cook Strait, I arrive in Picton and head to beautiful Kina Beach.
