First days in Nelson

Arrived in Nelson on Monday evening after a trip which involved lots of waiting around, trying not to giggle like complete bogans at the kiwi accent!


Impressed by the giant Gollum at Wellington airport



Arrived in our little Swift at our beach house, 53 the cliffs, views to die for











Enjoyed a great dinner at Styx, fantastic Italian waiter, and discover a new fruit, feijoa. He was a classic, telling us the 'sometimes you have to just leap into the darkness" when selling the desserts. What a great motto!

Next morning we woke to a magic view


Had a great brunch at Lambretta, then shopped and stocked up house.




Perfect dinner of whole salmon, watching ER reruns! Ah, life is good.
