Pic's Peanut Butter Tour
2 marzo 2022, Nuova Zelanda ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
One cannot visit Nelson and not go see where Pics comes from! What an interesting man Pic is and what an interesting visit. It all started in a stainless steel concrete mixer in his garage.
We were stunned to learn that 70% of US homes have a jar of Pics in the cupboard but only 49% of NZ homes have one! Maybe our jars are the buckets 😁
Sheila hopped on a bike and peddle-powered a small batch ... which we promptly ate.Leggi altro

Miyazu Japanese Garden
4 marzo 2022, Nuova Zelanda ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
Small but nice japanese style garden to cement a sister city relationship between Nelson and Miyazu. Has a ton of potential but needs a step up in maintenance. Rubbish in a lake, lots of dead and dying to trim and remove etc. Amazing how tranquil a japanese garden feels as soon as one enters...Leggi altro

Natural springs with ultra clear water. A nice 60 min walk through bush, over streams and small bridges, with some spectacular views from the viewing platform hanging over the main springs.

Wildcat Charters Fishing
7 marzo 2022, Nuova Zelanda ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
7am departure from Pōhara dock with Captain Leigh ... just about sunrise. Fantastic day out on the briny catching snapper, terakihi, blue cod, gurnard, leatherjacket, wrasse, mackerel and a barracuda Nicely fileted by Capt Leigh and we brought home bags of fresh fish. Lucky there is room in the caravan freezer!
Catching our fill early left time to call in to some historic coast ... like Murderers Bay where Able Tasman first set foot on NZ land about 1642 - the first known European to touch NZ soil. He engaged with local Māori but not a great accomplishment, with deaths of both sides. Also stopped right adjacent to where a Pā had been in what is now Abel Tasman Park.
Back at the dock, some large stingrays came looking for a few morsels.Leggi altro

Labyrinth Rocks, Tākaka
8 marzo 2022, Nuova Zelanda ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
An outcrop of limestone rocks with paths in all directions. Thank goodness for the map! Spent about an hour exploring partly accompanied by a very friendly piwakawaka who would land only inches from us. Several rock forms had names based on what they looked like ... e.g. the glacier, water slide ...Leggi altro

Ngarua Caves
9 marzo 2022, Nuova Zelanda ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
A stop near the top of Tākaka Hill on our way to next destination. We took the tour and learned much about how the caves were formed, what had been discovered so far, including many moa skeletons. One stallactite has been signed by numerous explorers, one of the oldest dated 1876!
Well worth the fee and time ...Leggi altro

Fuel for the truck (diesel $2.739 / litre) and the travellers! Zen kitchen much more affordable than half a tank of diesel (the very day fuel prices made top of the news and Ardern said there's no cost of living crisis. At these prices we might not be able to get home for a decade or two!Leggi altro
