Nelson Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

Hello, patient friends and family! New Zealand has been no better for finding places to upload pictures. I have almost finished my Australia updates, but I'll post them when I find a computer that will let me post pictures, as they are LONG entries, and with no visual aids might be a bit testing! I'll just quickly update on what we're doing now ...

I arrived in Nelson yesterday after a beautiful ferry ride from Wellington to Picton. I had to tramp around the city for about an hour to find a hostel, but finally found one... well, it found me! I was on a corner reading a map and the caretaker from this new hostel stopped and asked if I needed a place to stay! It was nice, however it was a sh...

We leave Wanaka and head towards Nelson, on the way we see a sign for The Buller Gorge Swingbridge and decide to stop and take a look. This is the longest swingbridge in New Zealand so we decide to cross. On the otherside you can come back across the gorge on a foxline. Adi and i decide to do this tandem and are quickly strapped in. Adi is reall...

In a bid to give myself a day of relaxation either side of my tramp in the Abel Tasman National Park I decided that I'd use the YHA in Nelson as my base, I'd stayed there when I passed through last time an it seemed like a good YHA and I was told that Nelson was a relaxed, arty city so it seemed as good a place as any to spend some time. What's ...

27th August Changi Airport, Almost final leg of our trip. It really has been a great trip. Peter has been very uncomplaining considering the trouble his knee has given him. He is actually looking forward to the operation, or rather getting a good knee again. I'm pleased to say I have stayed healthy for the whole trip, odd little stomach upsets, ...

My time here has gone far too fast and I cant believe that I will be home in 3 days. the last time that I wrote, I was about to go on a Quad bike trip at the glaciers - it was fantastic- It was a group of all girls which was great and we all got extremely muddy! I loved it...

It is hard to sit and focus on a computer screen and update this travel journal, as the sound of waves roll onto the sands of Golden Bay not 100 feet from where I sit and the fragrant and calming smell of lavender combine with the crisp sea air to lull me into a state of complete relaxation. A low hedge of lavender is the only thing that separat...

Seit Dunedin sind wir quer ueber die ganze Suedinsel gefahren. Wir sind ueber die Alpen vorbei an Wanaka, wo wir eine kurze Wanderung machten zu den beruehmten Gletscher an die Westkueste gefahren. Leider machten wir Bekanntschaft mit dem beruechtigten Schlechtwetter auf dieser Seite der Insel, so dass uns der Blick auf das eindrueckliche Panora...
