🇳🇿 South Island’s First Stop: Picton Town

Whether you're arriving by road or ferry from Wellington, Picton will likely be your first taste of the South Island! 🌅 Day 6 - Part 1: A Slow Morning in Picton Stayed overnight at a local’s home—host was gone by morning (early risers here!). Walked into town for breakfast, passing rows of speedboats—seems like every household owns one! 🚤 ☕ Breakfast at a "Famous" Bakery Verdict: Overhyped. The "award-winning" cake tasted just like the ferry’s—way too sweet! 😖 🚶♂️ Exploring Picton The town is tiny—strolled around in no time. Best part? Sitting by the waterfront, soaking in the sea breeze, and watching locals walk their dogs. 🐕✨ 🍔 Lunch at Seabreeze Ordered a "kiwi-style meat pie"—decent but the pastry wasn’t my favorite. Afternoon: Caught the Intercity bus to the next destination! 💤 Alternative Plan? Could’ve slept in instead—Picton’s perfect for a slow, recharge day before adventures. 😴💙 #NZTravel #Picton #SouthIsland #SlowTravel #FerryLife
