Majority of the past two days has been spent in buses. Went from Fox Glacier up to Nelson in one day, about nine hours, then from Nelson to Picton where I hopped on a ferry to Wellington and the North Island the next day. The bus drivers make every effort for passengers to be comfortable; there are brief stops every two hours or so to stretch and use a restroom, and most drivers also give a bit of a commentary on the area along the route so you learn a bit too.
Pancake Rocks at Punakaiki, along the route to Nelson. For some unknown reason the rocks have formed into very distinct layers.
Bike on one of the buses. It was somewhat easier to take the bike on buses on the South Island because one of the companies just had racks on the back of the buses where the bike could be lifted on in one piece, rather than taking a wheel off. But it isn't too big of a hassle.
