Although I only stayed in Picton for one night along the drive to Abel Tasman National Park, I found the small city charming. I couldn’t help but fall in love with the next door bakery, fish and chip shops, and second hand stores. I enjoyed wondering around the cute town in the quiet morning with the warm sun on my face. The art-deco buildings, palm tree lined streets, and welcoming harbour burrowed a place in my heart.
Have you found any unexpected treasures throughout your travel journey?
I can’t believe how much it looks like Horseshoe Bay in Vancouver, I never noticed before. I’m pleased you are having fun so far 🙂
Oh wow, really? I’ll have to look up pictures of Horseshoe Bay in Vancouver for myself. I’ve been to Horseshoe Bay in Australia on Magnetic Island though.
Reminds me of my Long Island!
I’ve only been to Long Island once, but I really need to go back to spend more time there. I remember getting stung by jelly fish!
Oh yea! The best days were when beaches had beach glass. Where did it all go? Anyway, I used to spend hours every night just hanging out on the docks. Port Jefferson Harbor was a great place to grow up.
Sounds like a perfect upbringing to me. Yes, where did all the beach glass go? Whenever I am at a beach I always keep my eyes open for some and I rarely find it anymore. Maybe there is a beach glass monster out there hoarding all of it.
I hope you returned the dolphin to the water! 😀 Great post as always!
I put him in my back pack and took him home with me.
