Nelson

Sorry all and Carolyn about spelling and grammar. Please the rest of you remember that you can add your comments to the blog.
When the washing was dry we moved on to Rye Valley where we found a lovely spot by the river. Actually a guy in the pub told me about it! We spent the night in the company of a couple of other motor homes on the bank of a river. In the morning we drove along the French Pass road to Okiwi Bay. See picture. We continue to be amazed at how easily the bus handles steep hills. After lunch on the shore at Okiwi Bay we drove back to Highway 6 and then through to Nelson. We spent some time in the center of the city at the information centre getting info about the region. Nelson has caught the pay and display disease so we had a little walk to get to the city centre. We then drove to Tahunanui Park for afternoon tea. Refreshed we headed back to find a place to stay. On the way we stopped at the yacht club - as you do - and met an ex Opti parent who is helping withthe running of the Laser nationals. He grabbed us and asked if we would stay in the car park and be security for the boats. So here we are. Today was very windy, but the wind died down in the late afternoon. Racing starts tomorrow afternoon. Sorry about double photo don't know how it happened of how to fix it.
