It’s time to go south island! There are only two ferries across the cook strait, one is Interislander (more expensive), another is Bluebridge.

Transport:
(a) Wellington to Picton : Ferry fare: NZD51 one way
My ferry departed on 8.00am,Sunday at Wellington. Each passenger can carry only one hand luggage plus one handbag on board. The check-in luggage allowance permits up to a maximum of two bags (up to 30kg per bag) per passenger. I checked in my trolley luggage and one small backpack.
Remember to write down your name on the baggage tag provided by the service counter on every luggage to check in.
I walked for 35 minutes from Base Wellington to Bluebridge check-in office with all my luggage and backpack. It was not that tough as I imagined. At first I planned to catch a bus on 7.00am (I thought it will make my life easier), but not even one bus passed by the bus stop after 30 minutes! I started to feel nervous! The lucky thing was I came out from the hostel 20 minutes earlier, that’s why I had enough time to walk.
It is always an advantage to reach your destination “earlier” than “on time” because you will never know what will happen on the road!
船上有个蛮大的平台让乘客可以欣赏沿途景色。
风比想象中的还更吓人。长头发的女生不想一秒变贞子的话最好绑起头发呀。
虽然冷风让我直流鼻水，可是那壮丽的山脉景色就是让人不想移开视线啦！不管了，三个小时的旅程我就是要坐在外面吹冷风！好期待南岛 ：）
(b) Picton to Blenheim : Intercity bus (http://www.intercity.co.nz/)
After I picked up my luggage, there is a free bus waiting outside to take all passengers to the nearest bus station. When I arrived, Intercity bus already there. This was the first time I travelled with Intercity. It departed on time at 1.35pm heading to Blenheim.
I was thinking to have my Christmas in Wellington, but due to the work exchange for accommodation in Blenheim, ended up I went to south island much earlier !
