Nelson Day 43 (Abel Tasman National Park)

Today Rachael and me got up early and caught the bus to Abel Tasman Taxis. From there we got on the Aquataxi to Abel Tasmen National Park. The Aquataxi is like a speedboat, so its a really quick and exciting way to get to the park. The weather was overcast, but dry and mild, with the largest cloud...

Beach bumming it again... Sweet little town but in true Kiwi style the damn place becomes a ghost town after 5 o'clock in the evening. They must all have amazing things to do at home. I mean ghost towns.... We spent most of the day swimming and enjoying the sun while thinking about how the tourism over here rips off the locals with their overpri...

eeek , its seems like ages since i've written here. Crossed over on the ferry yesturday and we are now staying in Nelson. Day before tat we were in Wellington which is just the nicest place EVER. I could really live there. Nelson is cute aswell. We're staying in the best backpackers place in nz and it is really good. Had a bbq last night and Ste...

Zurueck in Nelson erstma ein paar lustige GEschichten gehoert: Anscheinend bricht bei uns im Hostel nachts immer mal wieder ein Obdachloser ein und klaut NUR das Bier. Fuer mich heisst das: Jeden Tag das Lebenselixir ueberpruefen und dann neu kaufen :-) Sixer Becks kostet hier knapp 7 Euro, das geht also ganz schoen ins Geld. Dann am Nachmittag ...

Nelson is a nice town (the locals insist to call it city), as opposed to the quite indifferent small town in NZ. I stayed two days here, doing some small walks around the town, including a walk to the center of NZ as you can see from the photos, and visiting some museums. The town museum had an exhibition of a local sculptor named Len Lye who do...

Back in Nelson I caught up with Debbie who'd just arrived back. It was Jaime's birthday so we had a few drinks in the garden and then a huge crowd of us went out for an Indian - very yummy - and then back to Tam's for some party games. The following morning Tam and I were supposed to be going sky diving but unfortunately it was cancelled due to ...

Thursday, 16 February: We left Feilding and drove to Wellington where we boarded the Bluebridge ferry to take us across Cook Strait to the South Island port city of Picton. Whlle in Wellington Harbor, we were treated to the arrival of the first two of the yachts participating in the Volvo Around the World Yacht race to arrive in NZ from Australi...

I'm on the South Island! It was quite a process getting down here. Becca, Audra and I flew out of Auckland at 7:30 Thursday night and landed in Wellington at 8:30. We had a 1:30 a.m. ferry, so we took an airport shuttle into downtown Wellington to kill some time. Our shuttle driver was a very nice man named Neil who drove us out of the way and u...
