To the South Island

On the seventh day of our honeymoon, we drove down to Wellington to catch the ferry to the South Island. On the way, we stopped at one yarn shop that we happened to drive by. It had mostly acrylic yarns but I managed to find some lovely merino to make a sweater/jumper for a friend's baby. I just have to get to work on it before the baby gets too big.

So, we took the ferry from Wellington to Picton. I spent a good part of the ferry ride concerned because I happened to notice a lorry/semi truck full of sheep on the ferry! They didn't seem happy and we figured that they were going to the South Island to get slaughtered. Later, we decided that that didn't make sense so they were going to a new pasture where they would have many happy years to eat grass and get sheared to give lovely wool.
