Arrived in Picton, we continue driving SH1 via Blenheim towards Kaikoura, across the hills and little mountains of the beautiful Marlborough Region. We'll drive this way 2 more times: at first we head for Kaikoura, then for the Abel Tasman National Park from where we drive towards Christchurch (via Kaikoura). So meanwhile we are quite acquainted with the scenery ;-)
