Havelock - the mussel capital is a small town with a marina, situated near the Marlborough Sounds.
It was a sunny day when we set off along the Kenepuru Road, along the shore of Mahau and Kenepuru Sounds.
We stopped at Te Mahia, with a beautiful view of the Kenepuru Sound. Time passed quickly as we sat enjoying the changing colours of the water and the moving clouds.
What a better place for a coffee and followed by a lunch.
Delicious seafood pizza for two.
Reluctantly we said goodbye to the beautiful view and zigzagged our way back to Havelock.
That evening, we had dinner at the Marina - the biggest bowl of tomato soup i ever had. And the side order of potato wedges turned out to be a meal itself.
Next morning, we zigzagged along Queen Charlotte Drive for Picton,
and made a number of photo stops.
Queen Charlotte Sound - isn't it beautiful?
Along the way, we watched a ferry cruising towards Picton Harbour.
It's the Interislander ferry Kaikati that we would be taking to Wellington a few days later.
What a coincidence!
Why is this named Shakespeare's Bay? No idea.
Picton Harbour and the palm trees lining along the harbour. We'll be back 2 days later when we crossed from South Island to North Island.
Next stop: Blenheim half an hour drive from Picton - to visit the cousin of David's mother.
