Woke up around eleven which was amazing. Hotel check out is 10am so we were able to catch up on some much needed sleep. Went to the grocery store and picked up a pie for brekke and some wraps for the beach and were on our way to the center of New Zealand landmark. Which happened to be up a hill half hour grueling hike. Once there we had a great view overlooking nelson and the ocean. Went back down and stopped at the queens garden. Filled with different plants and ducks. Then off to the beach. Got there, no shade. So we went searching for a beach umbrella. Doing a little google work I found New Zealand's equivalent to Home Depot and they had a beach hut tent on their ad. Perfect. Drove 10km there. Found a beach hut rent that folds up quite small for 15$--12usa. Stopped at mccashins brewery for a pint and some of the best chicken nachos I've ever had and retreated back to the beach. We spent about two hours there. Went in the water to my ankles and then was done. On Matt's way back he spotted a man of war jelly fish thing which totally ruined any chance of me going back in the water. Retreated back to our room for a much needed shower and then into town to try and find something for dinner. Indian, Chinese, pizza, bar food.... decided on indian and requested the best chicken and then best lamb dish. I think we got chicken tiki masala and lamb... madras? 15 minutes later we were on our way back to our hotel, pulled the table out to the balcony and enjoyed the amazing food. Also for garlic cheese naan. Oh so good. Food coma pass out. Tomorrow: Blenheim to rent some bikes and hop between the vineyards.
