Onto sunny Nelson- because apparently it's more or less invariably sunny here. Another nice, quiet hostel and I have a wander to the cathedral and around the town which has a relaxed vibe.
Next day I take a walk up to the lookout at the centre of New Zealand. Well it's sort of the centre in that it's the centre of Nelson which is the central region.
I visit the local museum which, like many local museums has an intriguing hodge-podge of exhibits including but by no means limited to Maori artefacts, fossils, stuffed animals, death masks and ladies bloomers. There's some interesting displays about the colonials and how Nelson came to be and a temporary exhibition about the endangered giant carnivorous snail.
