Bus up to Nelson

Caught the Intercity bus up to Nelson, which left at 7:30am 😳 I bought a flexipass for the intercity bus system, so I have 30h of travel available all throughout the country, for CA$230. The bus departed from downtown ChCh (caught a city bus to dt), and stopped along the way for half an hour in Kaikōura where you can apparently go swimming with the dolphins. I bought a shirt here cause I needed an extra one and the gift shop was having a major sale. Then transferred busses in Blenheim and got to Nelson where Andy picked me up and drove me to their home in Richmond, a suburb of Nelson.
Hard to nap much cause the roads are so twisty windy here but got a bit of shuteye! And ran into a Japanese guy who I met in Queenstown who happened to be on the same bus!
So many one lane bridges on major roads here too!Read more
