OK, so I’m starting this one the day before, with the arrival into Picton. I could have booked the ferry for that afternoon, or even that evening, but I wasn’t sure how much wiggle room was needed between train &…

Christchurch to Picton on the Coastal Pacific
I slept badly, which wasn’t great. Not entirely sure why, though concern over getting to the station on time probably played a major part. The Christchurch station isn’t in the middle of the town, unlike a lot of others, and…
