Day 52 - Day in Nelson (Thursday 30th December)

Today after a lot of discussion, Chaggie decided to spend most of the day in Nelson. Originally PuPu Springs was on the planner but Staggie's old school mate, Chris Wood, who moved to NZ in 2004 was in Nelson with his mates for New Years, so Chaggie had organised to meet him at around 13.00.

We set off at around 12.00pm as it took about an hour to get to Nelson from Kaiteriteri, we arrived just after 13.00. Chris and his mates had actually got lost just outside Nelson as they had been out for the morning but found their way back at around 13.30 when we met Chris outside his hostel.

We went for a drink at a pub near by and had a good old catch up, Staggie and Chris who hadn't seen eachother for 5 years after going to the same primary school and secondary school together had a lot to talk about.

We then headed off to get some lunch at Subway, which was of course, superb as always. Chaggie only had 3 hours of parking where the car was parked so sadly we had to leave at around 16.30.

We then headed back to Motueka to spend the rest of the evening with Eleanor, Pip, Andreas and the kids, which yet again was very enjoyable and full of laughs! They must be sick of us by now!

We are looking forward to tomorrow as its New Years eve, plus, Chino has an exciting event to write about, will he still be alive after it to tell the story?! Stay tuned to find out on Chaggie Downunder!
