Nelson

The day started again with a waffle, toasts and cornflakes for breakfast. Then we had our productive hour of the day, where we organised transportation to and from the Abel Tasman National Park, a water taxi to pick us up at the end of the hike and a kayak for the first day. All that for 378 nzd for the 2 of us was certainly not cheap but we felt it was a fair deal, especially after knowing that prices in South America were often higher despite that living costs there are lower.

The weather was nice and we decided to have a walk through Nelson. We don't really know why but we really like the city and its atmosphere. While failing in finding a new bikini, we did both succeed in buying new sun glasses 😎. We also visited a church that had held a creative Christmas tree competition for non-profit organisations.

So we are almost ready to head off for a 4 day kayak and hike along the coast adventure. Once again we will hence be offline for a while.Read more
