Day 5 - More fun times in Nelson

Today is our last full day in Nelson. Because it's a little stressful to move around every day, we decided to take it a little easy on our 2-day stay in Nelson. After our huge breakfast and lunch yesterday, we decided we couldn't eat much for dinner, so we went to a great market and got tons of organic food to snack on. We had NZ boysenberries, strawberries, salad, sheep's milk cheese and a bottle of sparkling wine from the Marlborough wineries. Then we sat in the sitting room of the B&B and read tour books while listening to Christmas carols. Who knew we were B&B people?

This morning we had another great breakfast at our B&B, and we got to chat with a nice couple from Kent, England. They were really sweet (please picture the Dursleys from the Harry Potter movies for a visual). Then we got ready and "chickened out" of our kayaking (words of the Kent woman) and decided to take a walk through the city to the Founders Park & Brewery. I'm sure you're all shocked, but we stayed and tried beers. It was really fun and we got to see the whole family of the brewer in action.

Now we're hanging out waiting for our first high-end dinner. The food has been so amazing here that I'm sure it will be great. Tomorrow we're off for a long drive down the west coast near Hokitika, but there's lots to do on the way. We'll post again when we can.
