Day 154 - Nelson - Motueka, New Zealand
Day 154 – 9th November 2005 +13:00 GMT Total Miles 28217
Had to get up early as Reece and Dennis had decided to do a 3 day walking and kayaking trip around Abel Tasman national park and wanted to be at the rental place top pick up there canoes at a reasonable time. So we checked out just before 9:30am and headed across to Kaiteriteri which is about 50km West of Nelson. We arrived there just before 11am and they were told that they had to arrive before 8:30am as they had to have a half day out with an instructor before they were allowed loose with Kayaks. So they had to scrap that plan and decided to walk it all instead so I drove them up to Marahau where they track began and they sorted out getting home from there and headed off on their trek.

Jill and I then went to Motueka were we were booked into The Laughing Kiwi hostel for 2 nights. We got a room which a huge soft comfy bed, the hostel was lovely and has a small kitchen and living room, it has the cosy feeling and there were only 5 others staying in this part of the hostel. We spent most of the day just lazing around and listening to music, we made a trip to the supermarket to get some food then cooked and went to sleep.
