We awoke early in French Pass and headed off with the aim of reaching Nelson in time to speak to Steve's Dad who has reached the ripe old age of 60. After a spot of breakfast in a park in the town we had a wander round and had the (mis)fortune to stumble upon a car boot sale, while Steve browsed for cds he hoped would provide a respite from the kiwi radio Alison went around replenishing her wardrobe making three purchases all for the princely sum of 8.5 dollars, another two dollar shower in the car park where the car boot sale was taking place and we set off on the road again.
