Pic's Peanut Butter Tour
2 de março de 2022, Nova Zelândia ⋅ ☀️ 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.Leia mais

Miyazu Japanese Garden
4 de março de 2022, Nova Zelândia ⋅ ⛅ 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...Leia mais

Wildcat Charters Fishing
7 de março de 2022, Nova Zelândia ⋅ ⛅ 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.Leia mais

Labyrinth Rocks, Tākaka
8 de março de 2022, Nova Zelândia ⋅ ⛅ 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 ...Leia mais

Ngarua Caves
9 de março de 2022, Nova Zelândia ⋅ ☀️ 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 ...Leia mais

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!Leia mais
