I have thoroughly enjoyed staying at Nelson. It was a lovely little city (though I'd class it as a town) and apart from our last day there the weather was stunning. Well we certainly kept ourselves busy. On Thursday we wanted to investigate the city but just found a good pub got drunk. Then on Friday we had a day out in Abel Tasman National Park. If you remember, I'd already kayaked here and was hoping to go back for some more + walking. Well we just de...

Well you'll be pleased to know that I've now done a full circle of the South Island and probably in record time too - we've covered so many ks in Jabba that I'll be sad to say bye to him tomorrow. Anway, I think I left you last in Invercargill where we had to stay unexpectedly for the night w...

Peter Burtonwood (MI Fire E), Deupty Chief Fire Officer of Invercargill Fire District has almost killed Jabba.
