Nelson varosarol sokat nem tudtunk meg, ellenben az osszes sportboltban voltunk, mivel Vince elhagyta a turacipo talpanak egy reszet, igy keresni kellett neki egy uj part. Nehez ugy volt. Persze a cipot nem tudtuk hasznalni tovabbi turakra, mert az ido borzaszto rossz lett, es le kellett mondanunk a ket tervezett komolyabb turankrol, ami miatt v...

Nothing exciting to report. walked to central nelson, then watched tv in the evening

I actually just slept in Nelson. I didn't do much. I went out for a couple of drinks with two girls that where staying in the room. The town was pretty dead. We just played some pool and drank a little and retired early.

The Nelson region, we have been told, has more sunshine than anywhere else in New Zealand - all we can say is "nice weather for ducks"! Despite the continuous rain we did show perseverance and venture outside and got to sample a few organic beers and watch Hot Fuzz at the local cinema. We've done a lot of reading and watching films in New Zealand.

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...

I'm very tired so this entry will be pretty quick. I'm in Nelson now, which is a fairly large town that I haven't seen much of, since we arrived here last night and I spent today at Abel Tasman National Park. The park is one of New Zealand's biggest and most popular, with good reason - it's absolutely beautiful. (Photos to follow when I find a c...

Helens house We arrived at my brother's mother-in-laws house on Sunday evening and spent the evening enjoying pizza, wine and catching up. Helen lives just on the edge of the town centre which is extremely handy and I was also very pleased to find it immediately on our arrival from my memory of staying there in the past. Helen is an artist and p...

I couldnt find my sunglasses this morning- I looked everywhere, but to no avail, (Ruth later told me she'd picked them up by accident -after i'd asked her loads of times!) so that was a bit of a bad start to the day, but I'm getting used to it. We went to go and see some more seals, before stopping off in (another) little town for lunch. I opted...

19/12/03 8am, feeling *****, not really fancying a day on a bus full of strangers, i pull my **** out of bed, today i'm off to Greymouth on the Magic bus. 1st impressions of the bus were not great, full of old people and the French, very strange and not at all like the Feejee experience, our only other tour bus experience (i guess, if only becau...
