Looong day's drive to Nelson in the north-west of the north island, gateway to the Abel Tasman National Park. Pretty rubbish weather, but went out for a day of kayaking round the coast followed by trekking along the coastal path anyway, which was all very good. Although my knees are giving me a bit of grief - don't think they've fully recovered from the 2-day bike ride a couple of weeks ago. Ageing, it's a terrible thing.

There seem to be an inordinate number of Germans in New Zealand at the moment. Even a German guy said to me that Germany must be empty at the moment. Not that it's a big problem, they're not strutting around barking orders, and most of them seem to be travelling in buses rather than Panzers, it's just a bit of a change from the usual travelling crowd of Brits, Aussies and Americans.
