We've been so busy lately catching up with friends and family and socialising, I've had very little time to take photos, let alone post them on here. Then work filled any gaps in time I had.
We had a fabulous time at Kekerengu (north of Kaikoura) catching up with one of my bridesmaids that I hadn't seen for absolutely years . . . too ashamed to admit how many. Needless to say, it was great to see her and to hear her stories of what she'd been through during the earthquake. A challenging experience.
Our next stop was Nelson where we planned to spend some time with Rick and Chic, our friends from Hahei whose wedding anniversary we helped celebrate in Arrowtown in late April. At the time, we'd not had a chance to talk much with them as it was a large party of friends at dinner. So we determined to make up for that before they headed back across Cook Strait and home. They caught up with us at The Honest Lawyer in Nelson and we spent a couple of nights enjoying their company.
This hotel allows motorhomes to use their car park for two nights as long as you purchase a $20 voucher—to be used in their establishment. It's situated right on the shore.

What a beautiful old building, full of character. These photos are all taken in their grounds as we wandered around.
The two chimneys on top are fascinating. You can see them in the very first photo as well.
Just across the road was another beautiful old brick hotel—the Monaco Nelson Grand Mecure.
Going for a walk one afternoon, we met up with this weka (also known as a woodhen). This one is about the size of a chicken.
