Golden Bay, Nelson area

I am currently in Golden Bay area of New Zealand. The area is known for beautiful scenery of high rugged hills and jagged coastline. Lord of the Rings used the location for filming part of the movie. Unfortunately for me the weather is rainy and overcast with very little visibility to see the sights.

I am at a very nice friendly farmstay right now but with rain in the forecast for the next three or four days. There is nothing for me to see or do here in the rain so I have decided to use the days for travel days and head back to Wellington via the Picton ferry. I will take the bus from here to Picton tomorrow then catch the ferry over to Wellington. Today I will bus back to Nelson. I have not had much luck with the weather while here in New Zealand. I have not minded all the rain that has plagued me everywhere I have gone. I have still enjoyed every single day here rain or shine.
