We arrived in Wellington at about 10pm and checked into James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor. We woke up bright and early to roam around Wellington and we had a big breakfast.
The streets of Wellington looking similar to Plymouth in UK.
Our ferry ride to Picton was at 1.30pm. The ride lasted till 5pm. This was kinda exciting as our car was going on the ferry too. We traveled via Bluebridge, for more information, https://www.bluebridge.co.nz/
Walked around Wellington after checking in, to get our lunch. They have food on board too, which are quite reasonably priced, but I was craving for some asian food.
After parking our car on board, we spotted many crates of sheeps on board too.
They have seats at the outdoor area, so if you want to enjoy the view you can check out this space.
I love Japanese food in New Zealand. They have such a huge variety and in large portions too. They taste even better than most sushi joints in Singapore. We bought this sushi from one of the shops in Wellington before we boarded the ferry and it was so good. We regretted not ordering more.
We managed to get a window seat, it's free seating by the way, so do remember to grab your seats first before you start exploring the ferry.
Arrived in Picton and we drove down South to Nelson, by the time we arrived at our accommodation, the sky had already turned dark and some restaurants were already closed. We stayed at Gladstone Motel Nelson and the friendly manager, who waited for us to arrive, gave us some recommendations. We headed to Three Rooms (which was highly recommended on Tripadvisor), they offer NZD$35 for a 3 course meal. Like I said before, you can trust Tripadvisor when it comes to food recommendations in New Zealand. The places that we have tried did not disappoint.
Service was impeccable, the interior design was beautiful and the food was two thumbs up, worth every penny. My daddy said that the best steak of the trip goes to this restaurant, so I would highly recommend it if you're in the area.
Stay tuned for more.
