I am special. Only one in the whole wide world. Here is a general description of my life, my family, my interests, hobbies and the reason why I decided to migrate to NZ and how I spend my time now. I have retired from full time work in 2002.
I was surprised to see that the ferry took passengers, cars, trucks and even trains! I could not believe it when Rose told me many years ago that her train in Europe went across by ferry to Sweden! Now I saw it happening at Picton. They break the train down to 8-car lengths for loading onto Bluebridge. On arrival at Wellington they are connected again into one unit.
