Day 18. Global Village


The hostel we checked into last night is adorable. George wanted to spend another night here so we could make use of the free kayaks they offered and I couldn’t say no to spending another night at 6th best hostel in New Zealand! I’ve basically spent today pottering around the hostel, reading, sunbathing, taking photos, drinking free cups of tea, and just being nosey and admiring the detail, love and attention the owners (who are also lovely) have put into every aspect of the place.
The lounge
 There was a piano with juggling balls, a recorder and some other bits of pieces

 The conservatory just off the lounge
 A real log burning fire
 Another little seating nook in the lounge
 There was one entire wall dedicated to a world map
 My book selections
George's book choice

 Fresh eggs and the honesty tray!
Fresh herbs
The kitchen
 All the rooms were decorated in slightly different tribal themes



This is what I have to put up with waking up to!!
 They also had a sauna, hot tub, gym and kayaks!

But the outside space was maybe the best bit!
 A fire pit
 George checking out the BBQ
 Free bikes, the kayaks and the herb garden

 A lovely tire path that runs along the property
Our view!
 Another sunny little corner

And this is what we sat and looked at while we had breakfast!

Day 16 Lazy day in Nelson


I don’t really have any pictures from today as I just haven’t done anything exciting! I’m ready to move on from Nelson so I’m just waiting for everyone else to want to move on too.

Apart from going out for breakfast with Axel at Kush cafĂ© and having the tastiest eggs benedict I’ve not done much that’s photo worthy! I explored the city again, although since it’s not very big I’m sure I’ve already been into every shop, so then I settled down in the courtyard of the hostel with my guide book and my music and whiled away the afternoon sun relaxing and generally just enjoying being on holiday!

Tomorrow should be much more interesting though as me and George are setting out down to Greymouth and Pancake rocks!
