Awoke to sunshine and took a quick march to the top of the view point for magnificent views across the Sounds, complete with rainbow. After breakfast we set out for Nelson.
Nelson has the highest sunshine record for all of New Zealand and also a very high number of British immigrants! There is a thriving art scene here and the Marlborough wine growing region nearby helps to keep those creative juices flowing. We spent the afternoon exploring the cathedral and cute old cottages of South Street; wandered the shops and galleries we discovered Jens Hansen jewellers – the Lord of the Rings ring designer. At the end of the day we set up camp by the beach and took a breezy stroll, getting back just before the rain.
