Yorkshire Terriers New Zealand 20...

Today saw the tour move north from Christchurch in the South Island, up to the country's capital Wellington at the foot of the North Island.
The journey began at 6.45am, with the long drive north through yet more amazing New Zealand scenery. From world famous vineyards to snow topped mountains, the journey seemed to fly by.
As we drove closer to the coast and the Pacific Ocean, we saw seals in the ocean to our right, with the mountains to our left, such a contrast is unique to New Zealand.
Upon our arrival at the ferry terminal in Picton, our departure to the North Island was tinged with sadness, as we had to say goodbye to our South Island driver Brian. Brian's knowledge and sense of humour really enhanced our experience in the South Island, and he fittingly got the traditional Yorkshire Terriers sign of respect with the 'Zingeeza' (spelt phonetically!!) dance. The ferry journey was truely breathtaking, with the tourists forgetting the long journey before them to enjoy the spectacular views along the 92km ride. Wellington and the North Island have a lot to live up to if they are to match to experiences and hospitality which the Terriers enjoyed down south.
