28 DAYS IN NEW ZEALAND - WELLINGTON - NELSON via PICTON


Me and Paradiso, Nelson

Raining, 22nd July 2010, Thursday, the day seemed like not too good in the morning. However, it wasn’t affected our mood to next destination. Today was the day to across from North Island to South Island. It took approximately 3 hours ferry’s trip from Wellington to Picton. There is another 2 hours trip from Picton to Nelson via Marlborough. What is famous in Nelson? Yes, it is a good question! Nelson is famous in mountain trekking. You may consider to join a day trip in the Abel Tasman National Park. However, I only plan to stay a night at Nelson. I couldn’t involve myself into many activities while my traveling time was restricted. On that night, even though I don’t have any amusing activity. I still did my night walk around the town together with Ivan and Carol. We shopped at The Count Down(super market), prepare food and snacks for the next day’s journey

I stayed in Paradiso International hostel. Yes, this is the best (excellent) local hostel I had ever lived. They provide hot soup in the dinner and breakfast too. Plus 5 packs of free instance noodles as I requested. hehe!! In the winter you can spend your night with hot and sauna. In the summer, you can put off your shirt or naked?? and jump into in the swimming pool. It is ALL FREE!!! The most important is the staff is friendly, and the entire hostel is clean.
