I spent Friday and the weekend road tripping to and from Nelson, at the top of the South Island. A group of about 40 of us, mostly kaumātua/elders travelled down to support the opening of an exhibition at the Nelson Museum about the Taranaki Land Wars, the one that we did here in 2010. We took the ferry between Wellington and Picton and had a really smooth trip each way, by no means a sure thing even on a fine day.
We did however have wind.
And this is the divvy up of the left overs on the way home. We stayed at Whakatū Marae, in true tradition we were fed better than well and gave us a whole heap of food for the trip home. We took over part of the lounge on the ferry and had a slap up lunch, salmon, ham sandwiches, mussels, kina - happy travellers.
