Nelson

We had a long drive from Franz Josef to Nelson. It took about 6 -7 hours ;-(.

I found Nelson a very strange place and I don't know why. We arrived late and tried to get some food. We found out that many restaurants actually close before 10am. We only came to Nelson because we wanted to take part in some Sea Kayaking. I had never been sea Kayaking so I was really looking forward to it. Here is a picture of the beach in Nelson.

<p>After Nelson we made our way to Kaiikoura

We spent about 2 hours in the shop happily making stuff. As we went on a Saturday loads of locals came into the shop with there children. It was lovely watching them use there imagination.
