Today we jumped on the Interisland Ferry which took us from the North Island to the South Island. The 92km voyage took 3 hours and has been described as "one of the most beautiful ferry rides in the world." It definitely beat every ferry ride I have ever been on! Right away we found a television that was playing the USA vs. Ghana world cup game. Ghana won in extra time. I am sad USA is out but I hope Ghana does well. After the soccer we watched the All-Blacks play Wales. The Haka gives me chills every time!
Our first day on the South Island was mostly spent driving. We stopped to walk a trail, see some seals, and watch the sunset near a beach. 
After that we stopped at a supermarket and found out shopping carts are called Trundlers!! haha. We had a roast at a restaurant called Portabello. The moon tonight was very bright and had a beautiful halo surrounding it. What a start to our South Island adventures!!
