Saturday 26th December - Nelson

First impressions of Nelson are that it is a bit like Portstewart...
it has lovely sandy beaches facing North...
the sun sets over the westerly hills each evening...
there are lots of holiday homes and apartments facing the sea...
there are expensive restaurants along the seaward side of the road...

differences:
Nelson is the sunniest place in New Zealand with over 2400 hours each year!
There is no Morellis... it is needed with all that sunshine....

J and I went out to Happy Valley today and went on a quad trip for 4 hours up the mountains. At the end we were allowed to race the quads around a track and J hit 60km/hr... I think it has awakened a desire for speed... I hope not... He wants to buy a quad now for our section... hopefully he will be satisfied with the ride-on mower for a few more years!
