Whilst the Americans celebrate the 4th of July today, just as with some fragments of Filipinos who continue to believe that July 4 is the real Independence Day, we went to Picton in the morning for a road and scenic trip. Thanks to Ate Eloise and Terry. Today's Ate Eloise Birthday.
Ate Eloise is from Davao in the Philippines and my fellow Visayan. We met her and her husband Terry about two weeks ago as we're searching for an accommodation near our clinical placement in Stillwater Gardens Resthome and Hospital Richmond. It was an opportunity to meet this lovely and wonderful couple. Thanks to the great help and guidance of the Nelson Tasman Filipino Community, wherein Ate Eloise also plays a major part.
Picton is located at the top of Queen Charlotte Sound in the Marlborough Region in the South Island. It is considered as the main thoroughfare for interisland ships and ferry boats and has been a good place for outdoor activities like fishing and kayaking. We raced through the long winding frosty roads on the way from the Nelson City which took Terry 90 minutes to drive, stop places by places and took some photographs.
It was a day well spent. Credits to my friend Aaron in whom we're indebted for these photos. Darkness enveloped already as we arrived home. Someone cried for being able to see the idyllic landscapes Picton has offered. I am looking back again to visit such picturesque haven somewhere in the South.
Picton is really like a paradise, so is Blenheim. Glad that you had a very good time. Hope to be there sooner. Be my tour guide.
