Waiting, waiting, waiting. We waited in Wellington to cross the Cook Strait on the Inter-Island Ferry and ended up waiting in line for 4 hours in the dark in our cars, I think there were alot of frustrated people. Finally got on there at 9pm and arrived in Picton just after midnight. My 2 adult children got seasick on the ferry and spent most of the time in the bathroom, B and I just about fell asleep in our seats.

Linking up with Weekend Reflections and The Weekend Roundup.

What delayed the sailing? Rough out in the Strait? So was this the big move south? Exciting.

4 hours waiting in the car is a very long time. You must have been glad to get on the ferry, though it sounds as it was a little rough. Your new life begins! Exciting

Oh, don´t you hate that. At least you didn´t have coffee in the car. Happened to me - with a male colleague. Males have bigger bladders ;-)
That doesn't sound like the nicest of experiences! Hopefully the rest of your journey will not be as eventful. Be safe, Mxx

A nice shot.

We have never had to wait that long on a ferry coming in and loading.
Four hours does seem excessive

Sometimes you have that but it leaves you with a beautiful night shot as memory.

Ferries are necessary but I have also waited for hours on one.
I don't like getting seasick. For a brief period I worked offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. When it was too stormy helicopters to come back we had to ride crew boats. A six hour trip in heavy seas vs a one hour helicopter ride. ugh

Waiting a long time is not fun, most people are impatient.

That is a very long wait. I'm sure you were happy to finally get on board.

Quite a queue.

I don't wait well. This line would have been a struggle. I might have been in the bathroom with your kids. :) Happy Sunday!
Being forced to do nothing at all is the hardest work of all! What a bummer.

I can see that being frustrating.

Nice picture but a bad experience.
