After a lovely crossing on the Ferry we arrived at the South Island at about 11.30 and then had a 3 hour drive to Nelson. Last bit of journey involved a lot of very winding roads at one point behind a big truck full of logs!!
Arrived at Rachael and Steve's house at about 3 - accommodation is a self contained tiny chalet in garden with everything we need it's a bit like being in our camper van - in fact have decided that perhaps that is why I am finding living here relatively easy. Do machine wash which is great and hang in the sun to dry what a luxury!!
Go out to grab a few food bits and then to beach which is beautiful, Jim has a swim but it's a bit chilly for me.
Have to good old chicken salad with avocado back in our little home and catch up on diarys etc.
After breakfast head into Nelson for a walk at the Botanical gardens - another hilly walk in the heat oh my am I glad when we reach the top. little rest then back down and into town for lunch.
Last night at Rachael's home wine and flatbread with you got it......
