After Fox, I bussed up to Greymouth - once again losing my copy of Redepmtion Ark. I stopped at bookstores in one town on the way and Greymouth and neither had it. I took the TranzScenic train to CHCH. I wasn't very impressed; it really seemed little more scenic than any of the busses I'd taken, and less scenic than some.
I spent two nights in CHCH positive that my bus for Picton left Wednesday. Apparently, I was positively wrong, and it left Tuesday. Paying for a new bus fare and a new ferry fare won't help anything, but I haven't much choice now. While in CHCH, I went to the bookstores in town looking for my relost book. CHCH even had a proper bookstore, but no such luck was to be had. I ended up picking up a book in a different series by the same author.
I made my way to Picton safely if not timely. Staying at a nice backpackers that provided free chocolate pudding cake and ice cream last night and cereal and fresh bread this morning. The good thing to come out of my mistaken time schedule is that now I have time to do a Marlborough wine tour which I'd forgotten to schedule in. I plan to do that today and sail to Wellington on the late ferry tonight at 7. If all goes as planned, I have a bus taking me out of town at eight in the morning the next day.

Bummer about the glitches! :-( Yummy about the free chocolate pudding cake and ice cream and the cereal and fresh bread! Mmmm! Happy touring, ferrying, and bussing! XOXOX (up North till Fri. night)
So, I really want some of that cake and ice cream. Smuggle some back for me? Love you.
