One night but a great camp.

Lots of options here.

Just the two of us. One of Alan & Bevs recommended camps. Now if the river doesn't flood.

Didnt stay here but a small motorcamp available and very friendly host. Nice ice cream too.

Camped at Matai Motor Camp for three days while visiting friends and relations in Nelson

Alan & Bev camped at Matai Motor Camp. Hosts gave us a remote part of this large camp so the dogs could have a bit of freedom to roam, a little.

Molly sussing out her boundaries for wandering.

Tracey & Trish seeing who could laugh the most. Great Coffee and nice food too.

Nelson Market Day. Great entertainment.

This guy has been illegally (according to the law) parking his horse here on Market Day for 'years'. Never paid the more than $100,000 worth of fines as the Court always seems to rule in his favour. But why does he do it? To make a point??

Tasman District. Whitebaiters getting as much as a kilo (or two) a day. These people waiting for the tide to come up.

Tasman District. Beautiful golden sand. Now that's why they call it 'Golden Bay'. Arrived via Motueka (great coffee at the Marina).

Molly measuring the waves. Will I? Nah surfs not big enough yet.

Camp even provides a hot bath facility.
