Nelson and surrounding area





It's been a while since I last entered into blogdom. I am writing this in my parents' sitting room now back in the UK. I am missing New Zealand and so writing this helps me to remember what a wonderful time we had in such a brilliant country. Nelson was one of our favourite places to stay. We loved Rabbit Island (unusually named because we didn't actually see any rabbits!) and spent time messing around on the beach aswell as surfing in the sea.
Other fun stuff in Nelson included the Saturday market where we bought some gifts to take home (we found Harry a toy plane made out of old Coke cans and Matilda a lovely princess mirror). We also loved going to Seifried vineyard and a fun dairy (Neudorf) where they sold delicious sheep cheese.
