Headed North up the east coast today towards Nelsons. A lovely drive through the NZ countryside and through the vineyards of the Marlborough region. Nelson is smallish town located on the very North of the South Island. Checked into Honeysuckle Backpackers and later went out to sample the Nelson nightlife of with the girls from my dorm. (I was the only guy). The place was like a ghost town, and given that there was bank holiday the next day it was a pretty poor show.
