Center of New Zealand

The geographic center of New Zealand is located just a few miles away from Nelson's city center. The memorial is at the top of a mountain, which provides a gorgeous view of the city.

Photo Time at the Center of New Zealand

Beautiful scenery all around me! Ha!

My new friend......

Robin Hood?

My new friend, and opponent, threw the most amazing dart throw I have ever seen.....she split her previous dart right down the middle just like Robin Hood did with his arrow. I have never seen anything like that happen before.

The Palace

Backpacker's Hostel and my home for a night in Nelson.

The Palace Smoking Lounge

...?

Sweet Aviators!

The Honest Lawyer

Some might say that this is an oxymoron. I disagree!

The Honest Lawyer

I am convinced that this is the coolest bar in all of New Zealand! It is an old English cottage that has been converted into a bar and accommodation unit. The huge outdoor patio overlooks the Tasman Bay.

Brittany and I outside of the Honest Lawyer

Sheep Attack

During a tour of the local wineries, I encountered a NZ bachelorette party (in NZ this is called a "Hence")...after being mobbed by the lovely ladies (I know.....poor me) I found myself minus a shirt and wearing a sheep tattoo. Not a bad sheep.....It was one hell of a crazy day for me!

Rainbow over Nelson

To cap off a perfect day....Brittany and I spotted a rainbow over Nelson. My camera could not capture both ends at the same time, but we could see both ends of the rainbow. Really cool.

Favorite NZ Commercial

Enough said.
