Up earlyish to catch the Ferry from North Island to South Island, a very pleasant journey on calm seas of about 3 hours. We arrived in Nelson and whilst preparing our evening meal, met a chap from Hucknall(recognised the accent as he was talking to someone else)...my what a small world!! Not only was he born and bred within a few miles of Mansfield, but he'd also played football for a club alongside an ex team-mate of mine from the 60's(whoops.. showing my age again).
The main reason for visiting this area was to attempt one of NZ's 8 great walks The Abel Tasman Coastal Route, so without further ado, we booked some transport to take us to, and collect us from, the start and end of the route respectively.
All the big roues require an advanced booking for huts, and even though we're not in the midst of the high season, there were plenty of people about(take note Martin and Sue!).

Thanks Paul, Sue is making bookings 'as we speak' (you'll see from my blog that I'm 'incapacitated' at present).
Carry on blogging, and watch the BUGS.
