Another beautiful day in Nelson. Karen, today we were in the 80's.

Breafast at Shelbourne Villa's was granola, fruit, homemade yogurt, and the hot dish was Mediterranean tomatoes (canadian bacon and broiled tomatoes on bread with herbs and cheese - very tasty.)

After browsing the Saturday market, we drove to the last parking area before Abel Tasmin Park (sitting at the table in the b&b without my notes so can't name the town.) We had a delicious smoked seafood and avocado salad at The Park Cafe. Then, we boarded a boat that dropped us off at the stoppped called Appletree. From there we took an hour walk back to the restaurant, stopping on the way to take photos of waterfalls, ferns and turquoise blue ocean.

After wine and appetizers with Val and Wayne, the b&b owners, we went to The Boathouse Restaurant for .... steak. Well crab and steak and it was great.

Tomorrow, we head down the West coast to our next b&b. If NZ wasn't so far away, I think we'd move here!

More later and hopefully with pictures.
