Picton.
Picton is the gateway to the South Island, the Interisland Ferry from Wellington arrives in picton after a delightful, beautifully scenic cruise through the Marlborough Sounds. Visitors are greeted in Picton by a cute small town full of interesting cafes built along the waterfront overlooking a lovely foreshore park with childrens play areas, and seats to sit and dream on, and many small boats bobing out on the harbour and a large Marina full of launchs and yachths. From Picton it is a short 26 km drive to Blenheim the main town in the Provence of Marlborough where there are dozens of wineries to visit.

Instead we drove down the road to a place called Puzzling World. There is a big maze here and a few illusion rooms with cool stuff in them. We amused ourselves in the illusion rooms first and then went to tackle the maze. The aim of the maze is to get to all four coloured corner towers and then back to ...
