Melissa and Carson's RTW Journey

Aoraki / Mt Cook National Park Blenheim: After the four hour ferry ride, we got off and hurried to the Apex Rental Car office at the ferry port. We were nervous we wouldn't be able to pick up our car since the ferry was late and the rental place was closing, but we weren't the only ones in this situation. As a funny aside, there was another couple from Texas on our ferry that we immediately recognized from our Hobbiton tour because during the tour we had to hear them loudly telling people about how great Trump was and how corrupt USAID was (we had mostly encountered friendly and not obnoxious Americans while traveling so far, so this was pretty jarring. Also, in Hobbiton of all places?!) We kept our distance from them so we wouldn't have to engage, but then they were also waiting at the same rental car office with us. We felt like we couldn't get rid of them and their bad energy! Anyway, there was a sign at the rental office that said to call these numbers if no one was...
