After the QCT, we headed to Nelson, a bustling city of artists, sailors and hippies. Our first stop was the holiday home of mom and dad’s customer Elizabeth Barry and her partner Don. Elizabeth was kind enough to let Kirk use her address as a place for Visa International to send her new credit card – long story not worth getting into. Elizabeth treated us to an amazing dinner of fresh gurnard (which is quickly becoming our favourite fish over here), local vegetables and cliff-side view of Golden Bay and the headlands of Abel Tasman National Park.For five days, we pitched our tent at the best-kept Nelson camping secret: McKee Memorial camp ground, right on the water’s edge.
