Tramping on Charlotte

I have about 15 minutes before I need to get to the jetty for my boat ride to the Queen Charlotte Track, on which I shall spend the next 3 nights.

Last night I camped in Picton where I found a great fish restaurant. I am enjoying sampling the local wines also!

Yesterday morning I packed up in Akaroa during a rainstorm. I set off across the peninsula on the "summit road". I am told that the views are spectacular, but as I was in cloud most of the time I had my hands full staying on the narrow, steep and twisting road.

A disappointing way to leave the Banks Peninsula, but I saw enough to know that I want to return with Sophia to walk the BP track.

Must close or the boat will go without me...
