We drove West from Nelson towards the Abel Tasman Park and then beyond it to Golden Bay. Amazing views, beautiful place to visit but THE ROADS! Narrow and winding, we would call them passes in South Africa, but there, they are just roads over hills.
Ruby Bay - Mapua
We stopped in this gorgeous little town for coffee - good coffee, good views and good shopping
Beaches
After the rain (which caused the cancellation of the Cricket Test against Sri Lanka in Nelson the week before) - everyone was on the beach!
We managed to find a great beach with the most amazing houses around it - this beach is called Little Kaiteriteri Beach - a bit more exclusive and less crowded.
Views
The windy roads up the hills meant we got amazing views the higher we went
Fruit!!
Nelson and surrounds supplies much of the deciduous fruit to New Zealand. We bough the best cherries I have ever tasted - Ficksburg, eat your heart out (although I think the Ficksburg Cherry Festival is on my list for 2016)

| Real fruit ice cream has to be tasted to be believed. We had cherry ice-cream - we were so eager to try it we forgot to take a picture! |
