Day 6 Friday November 25..that's thanksgiving back home...We drive to Wellington either by going down toe coast so we can stop and play in the Tasman Sea. If we do that it's about 9 hours unless we choose to arrive straight down which is around a 6 hour drive. We have a tour of the Weta Studio where they filmed Lord of the Rings. The larger than life sculptures are at the Wellington airport so we are going to go play tourist there and we plan on watching a movie while we are in this famous town.  Then we go get in line to board the ferry. The ferry ride is from 3:30 to 7:00 am so we will be on the water when the sun comes up headed to the south island. We arrive at Pictin and start our second leg of our trip.
