Nelson Day

We had decided to use today to explore the town of Nelson. Although we have been here before we did not remember it too well.

It is a typical New Zealand town but they have tried to make it look nice with lots of trees and flowers baskets everywhere. We left the Motel and walked along the sea front until we reached the town. Following a quick coffee we walked the streets looking in shops etc, nothing special but enjoying the location.

We noticed a Fish & Chip place on the front and so headed there for a bagful of fish and chips which were very good indeed. Perhaps not to good for the waistline but you cannot win all the time.

The weather was quite nice and sunny without being too warm and was just right for sightseeing. After a good days walking we finished up in the Cinema watching Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman in a good comedy called ‘The Bucket List’. It’s about two guys, one very rich and one not so well off who end up in the same hospital ward on the ‘Sell by’ date list who then decide to see the world. Amusing and although it was not liked by the critics we enjoyed it.

And so to bed.
