Arrived in Nelson yesterday after an uneventful flight from Auckland, apart from no security check leaving Auckland!  Picked up from the airport by my AirBNB host, Jon.  Nice little place not far from the centre of this picturesque town.  It's a very pleasant place although this coast-line was badly affected by the storm that was going over it on the day I arrived in Auckland last week.  No idea if that is going to affect the itinerary, but some sections of the coastal roads have been washed away as in the Lake District 2 years ago.

Off on the walking tomorrow (Tuesday) so potentially no posts here for a number of days or more depending on when I get Internet access.

The next morning we were glad of the hut, the camping area had collapsed tents, broken polls and drenched campers sitting in the cars.  Te weathe...
