Picton


as usual, things can have an unavoided turn at the blink of an eye...just when we were about to head for the harbour for our ride to the island, we got a telephone call from our driver, telling us that his boat has broken down and it wont get fixed until monday....what a blow!!

Desperate times call for desperate measures, we went to the harbour anyway, trying to hitch a ride to Arapawa island, just like how we hitched a ride to picton...and while hitching on the road is easy and effortless, it aint so when you wanna hitch by sea...

and there we were at the marina, talking to everyone who were conveniently standing by their boats or yachts, and pushing our luck to see if they would so happen to 'passby' our island by any chance...alas, clearly luck wasnt on our side, the folks wont be leaving till friday, and that's about sum out our fate for the day...we shall be stranded in picton for another night...

Picton is really a gorgeous town with views of the sounds and plenty of sunshine and bars and walkways...sadly, ive had my fair share of walking and tramping for the past few days and more walking didnt really appeal to me...even when nima asked me to join him for a swim in the pool that i had to turn him down...'not today, dude'...

and today the weather is absolutely shitty...it is raining outside now...nevertheless, we are much determined to get to the island later by hooks or by crooks...nothing's gonna stop us!!

im keeping my fingers crossed right now...
