My New Zealand Blog

I am at Picton today, its the port at the top of the south island where you catch the inter islander ferry to wellington in the north island. Its also the location of the Malborough sounds. I was booked on the mail boat which delivers and picks up the mail and any small packages to the people who live on the sounds and islands in the area as there are no roads so the only access is via boat or sea plane. The mail run also delivers growserys and course work for the children. We saw some hector dolphins swimming passed the mail boat but they did not hang around for a photo. Pic is of one of the residence her daughter and their dog. The postie always gives the dogs a treat when he drops of the mail.
