In January and February 2005 my daughter, her children and I stayed on the South Island of New Zealand. After touring around for a few weeks we arrived in Picton. On the fourth of February we decided to join one of the mail boat cruises. Our destination was Ship Cove, where apart from wonderful birdlife, we saw an interesting monument dedicated to Captain James Cook, who visited this place 5 times. We were pleasantly surprised when we saw this ship lying there as if we were set back in time.
Weekend Reflections was started on 27 September 2009, by James. You can join this meme at some time during the weekend. Just post your photo and go to James to tell him that you are on, or click on the logo in the sidebar.This meme is created for any type of reflection.

Oh beautiful Picton. We've stayed there several times but never went on a mail boat. Sounds like a great experience.
Wat een mooi land

Fijn weekend
groetjes van ons allemaal

What a lovely place!
I love how you and your daughter just followed your noses (they don't use that expression in America) rather than having a set itinerary.
We took the Hurtigruten mailboat along the Norwegian coastline last summer. It was fascinating seeing all the small towns along the way.
Must have been a great experience. Wonderful photo!
Fortsatt god helg!:-)
Cruises are such wonderful experiences! Lovely pic.
The sign is so interesting.
Lovely water. I'd love to see NZ some day.
This is so interesting. We have a similar Captain Cook monument in Kealakekua on the Big Island. Unfortunately, he was killed here.
Beautiful! This is a place I would like to visit myself!
