Well today we left Greymouth and headed to Nelson! Nelson is a town along the northern coast of the southern island. The Nelson area is famous for its amazing wine! Savinon Blanc to be specific.
Today was the day. We woke up, and it was raining... and it was raining hard! It was a bit sketchy driving through the winding mountain passes through fog and rain! But we made it to Nelson safe and sound. We walked about the city center and had some food, and stopped at a pub to watch some of the superbowl, of course, and wandered around the big cathedral. We went down to the beach around 6pm and just for the hour we were there at the beach, the sun came out! Beautiful sunny skies and no clouds to block it! So we soaked in as much sun as possible and called it a night, for we have an early day tomorrow! More to come!
More amazing adventures! I check your blog site twice a day hoping to read more about your trip. Today I was not disappointed. The dogs look so happy! Loki and Truman would love it, too. Duniden to Nelson! You're really covering the island. Continued good weather and safe travels to you. By now, I think Beth is on her way home. I'm afraid she'll be wiped out when she arrives. Take care, Sweet Girl. I love you and miss you, but wish you the fullest possible experience in NZ. Loves and hugs, Grammi
