59: Nelson (Market)
We said goodbye to Carey this morning. She has a bike ride with a few friends for the next few days. So, we chilled with John today!
Oh by the way, this has been our view from the bedroom. Gorgeous nature sights!
On the agenda for today, the Saturday market in Nelson! Apparently, Prince Charles and Camilla visited last week. Funny how we're following them from Auckland. We were also recommended to get several trinkets by Keri's mom. John wandered around Nelson while Keri and I browsed the market. I got a metal bangle and two cool New Zealand inspired necklace designs! I wish we could have grabbed some of the food stuff, but too much hassle with customs.
We also headed to Jens Hanson ring store. Jens is the ringmaker for The Ring in Lord of the Rings. It was cool seeing the section for LotR section and the other designs. Its definitely way above my spending budget!
We caught up with John and got our tickets for the 007 movie with Daniel Craig, Specter. We hiked to up to the Centre of New Zealand! It was a spectacular sight!
Then we got a quick bite at a nearby restaurant, Anchor Bar and Grill. We had a delicious sweet chilli, cheese garlic bread and some beverages. It was delicious!
We headed back to the State Cinema and watched the movie. It was not bad, Daniel Craig is kind of awesome as Bond. I'm not going to talk about it as it may spoil the movie.
We got home and reheated chicken curry that Carey left behind for us. Keri and I made the rice and heated some roti! Yum, gotta love Indian food!
After dinner, we repacked our bags for our ship ride to Wellington in the morning.
