Mates Reunion

Monday, February 08, 2016
Nelson, South Island, New Zealand
Woke up to the fabulous view which was hard to drag ourselves away from but seafront and breakfast was calling. Steep descent (but only a few steps and a 1 in 2 road) down to the front where we had a great breakfast at the Boatshed overlooking the sea. Then back up the 1 in 2 to be collected by Tim and Catherine. 
We then headed into Nelson to Founders Park for the Whaitangi weekend celebration (treaty signing with the Maori) . Great to see them both again since a year ago, so a few beers were needed to celebrate. Tim took us to a great bar in a converted church and subjected me to some excellent local wines. Then it was off for a delicious fish dinner with more wines chosen by our aficionado Tim. 
Will probably be a slow day tomorrow (not for Catherine who very kindly drove).

Thanks for a lovely catch up afternoon guys. What you don't emphasise though is that Ali, you are sitting with the grilled fish on cous cous, while pie boy has got the full battered works. Which I had as well! Pie boys unite! Happy kiwi days... all set for a lovely stroll though the Abel Tasman tomorrow chaps...
