Early rise (feeling a bid strange :-) ), 6am as I reserved the first boat to the South Island. And although yesterday was a perfect day and they stated today would be too, bad day, rain and more rain.
During the boat ride it got bad (also very windy, 7-8) and off the boat (after almost 4 hours) even worse. I followed the scenic drive to Nelson, but this very curve road was almost a river, so much water came down the mountain. I am now in Nelson and no rain at all. Well you should not say/write that because the next minute it can rain like hell ....
Interesting town, described as:
Discover the creative paradise that is Nelson – an irresistible blend of lifestyle and stunning landscape at the top northwest corner of the South Island. From the northern edge of the Southern Alps across the fertile plains and out to a great sweep of beaches, our place is beautifully laid out under a generous sun that delivers New Zealand’s highest sunshine hours. Discover the diverse landscapes in each of these areas.
I have to say it seems to be like that. Will take some rest today (visit some art shops) as next two days I will drive much more along the west coast.
