Trip of Giants - to Nelson

---

Today we drove to Nelson, taking the scenic ocean route through Kaikoura and Blenheim. We saw loads of seals basking on the rocks south of Kaikoura. The trip was uneventful, arriving in Nelson after 6 hours and checking into the fabulous Grand Mercure Monaco, wonderful english themed apartments designed by my uncle.

We ate a great meal at the Honest Lawyer across the road with Alan, Margaret, her sister Janet and their grandson Brody. The boys were kept entertained making little paper boats out of colouring-in paper.
