Last weekend, we headed across to the South Island to collect Folly. We left on the Saturday morning, a beautiful calm, sunny day, perfect for our first trip on the Inter-Islander ferry. The journey takes three hours and we sat out on deck watching the S. Island draw close and admired the stunning Marlborough Sounds as we wound our way through the peninsulas and islands to Picton.
Folly seemed pleased to see us to our relief and we had a lovely day walking through the hills in the Maitai valley, just south of Nelson. Well, it was good until we heard the sound of pig dogs howling in the midst of a kill that echoed across the valley! We then chose a more gentile route along a river which she preferred!
Journey home was fine; she slept on her bean bag and didn’t mind the swaying of the ferry as a large swell rolled in.
