Another incredible drive from Westport to Nelson, New Zealand. Just finished a walk about town. The town is bustling with Christmas shoppers. So very very strange to be celebrating Christmas in the New Zealand summer. The towns of New Zealand have a certain flavor, hard to describe. The town has some wonderful landscaped parks. The people of New Zealand take gardening very seriously. At the end of the main street is the Cathedral. In the church they were having a contest for the best Christmas tree. Some older gentleman was playing the piano. Kadizzle requested Amazing Grace, and We Shall Overcome. The fellow is a damn good jazz piano player and knocked out two interesting jazz interpretations.
The simple minded guys in loud cars are less in number here, but of course they have to have some dingers running about. Because of poor planning Kadizzle has ended up staying in a nice hotel of sorts. It is right on the little river that runs through Nelson. For one hundred dollars Kadizzle got a very nice room and the hotel is nice. With the exchange rate the hotel will be only 66 dollars, which is a good deal. Last night Kadizzle got his room for 33 dollars American by paying cash. They like cash here.
Nice day here and Kadizzle should be up in the Able Tasman Park area, but rest is needed. May go up that way tomorrow.
