Kayaking Pepin Island - Night 88

Glen, a guide from the Cable Bay Kayak company, picked me up at 8:30 and gave me a lift to their home base, just a short, 20-minute drive north of Nelson. The sky was overcast and a bit windy, hardly the picture perfect kayaking weather of yesterday. Our half day trip would take us up and...

Havelock to Nelson - Night 87

I wandered the side streets of Havelock for my morning walk and stumbled upon the Havelock Cemetery. A brief investigation showed that no one had been buried here since 1996. Many of the old tombstones had tipped over, likely the end result of some juvenile prank, yet the lawn was freshly...

Home Sweet Home

From Wellington we caught the inter-island ferry into Picton and were blessed with a beautiful day, which not only made my first (and last) real impression of the capital city a good one, but made the entire crossing from the pillar box red tugs in the harbour to the grand beauty of Marlborough...

Home of the Ring

We left Kaikoura at a fairly pleasant hour and headed further north up the coast to Nelson. The weather upon leaving was pretty much the same as the day before and I was begining to feel a little depressed as I had visions it was gonna be like this for the whole of my trip. I need'nt have been...

Sun and fun in Paradiso

Our first night in Nelson was spent relaxing and having a few beers in our guesthouse (entitled Paradiso in case you are wondering about the heading of this trip report). We were lucky enough to be sharing a room with a Dutch guy who was as interested as we were in getting a good nights sleep...

Another train journey, this time doing the journey from from Christchurch to Picton. Awake at 4.30am, picked up at 6.05am, and at the station for 6.30am. Another train journey, this time doing the journey from from Christchurch to Picton known as the transcoastal. This journey does exactly what...

Travel Blog begins!

Right people. After over 3 months of travelling I've finally decided to get my arse in gear and jump on this travelblog bandwagon to keep any of you that can be bothered up to date with Cal's and mine travelling antics. Saves on the rubbish group emails and means that those of you who can't bear...
