Nelson or Bust 24.1.09

Spook and kids have arrived in Nelson for some serious holiday time.We spent a night in Hanmer Springs after dropping Mo off at the airport.There is a fantastic spa pool complex there although the kids were not impressed with the very hot rotten egg smelling pools.We managed 2 visits to the tubs before setting off north to Nelson.
It was a long drive thru some fantastic country over the Lewis Pass to Nelson.We arrived at Roddys and went straight to the local swimming hole which was great after 4 hours in the car and my farts smelling just like the hot tubs.
On Friday we went to Nelson recycling centre as Meg was suffering from not getting to Wanaka Wastebusters and then to the beach at Rabbit Island.Finn was into the water first and could not belive how warm it was compared to Arisaig,Meg was slightly wary of sharks but was soon in having a ball.The beach was massive with great waves to play in.
Today a visit to Nelsons Saturday market and then the beach is on the cards
