Nelson New Zealand - Sunday Market

All too soon it's time to move on and we take the long drive to Nelson. We arrive here on Saturday late afternoon, and the approach to the city is dotted along the coast with properties that sit comfortably within the hills. The weather was a little inclement so we decide to check in to the accommodation before we find something for dinner. Our first impression of Nelson is not what we were expecting, it's more modern than we thought it would be with a little dated civic appearance. We think it reminds us of a town close to where we live and this feels a tad disappointing. We've also chosen to stay one night in the highest rated BBH hostel in Nelson, so hope of a little comfort. The hostel is run by a young English guy called Anthony whose continuous smile, ensures you can't feel disappointed for long. His place is friendly and busy but a little full on and dare I say it 'young' for us. Boy do I feel old saying that but it's true! Anyway we fit our 30 something family into this little hip backpackers the best we can and make the most of it and get a quiet nights sleep.

@kiwichopz nelson may be boring for you, but drive about half and hour and you have some of the most amazing national parks in the world on your doorstep, not to mention driving further south and experiencing world famous glaciers

Hmmm... Filming the Sunday market was a bit of a waste of time. There's much more happening in the Saturday one.
