NZ: Nelson to Christchurch - from rain to shine (at least for now)
Killing time before our flight to Christchurch from Nelson we made our way to the WOW Museum of Wearable Art. Each year in Auckland designers from all over the world model their creations made of all kinds of ingenious materials in a fashion show. The museum had video of last year's show playing on large screens that was totally mesmerizing. Not only were the fashions amazing, but the models moved to music and even danced in these costumes. Each year the winners and video from the previous year go to Nelson so we were able to see how fantastic that show must be. We would have missed this exhibit if it hadn't been raining soooo- no worries, good-on-you-mate!
NZ: Abel Tasman
It was a cloudy, misty day but we enjoyed this beautiful area and it's moody vistas.
NZ: North to South
First view of Picton Harbor in the south island. We had a very pleasant 3 hour ferry ride from Wellington to Picton and were picked up by Zane, our affable driver who took us over some windy roads to Nelson. We fell in love with this town immediately. After checking into our sweet hotel (The Sails Inn), we headed to town on foot.
