Because we couldn’t stay at the Nelson YHA for 2 nights, we had to relocate in the morning to another hostel across town called the Green Monkey, which was one of the better hostels we stayed in (free internet and free cake every night? Sign me up). We walked around the town of Nelson in the morning and hung out (taking full advantage of free wireless) in the afternoon.
Nelson is roughly the size of Toowoomba, I’d guess, and the fact that it was slightly warmer than down south was also a plus.
Nelson’s claim to fame is the fact that you can hike (and when I say hike, I really just mean walk up a steep hill) up to geographical center of NZ. So we did. And it was just as thrilling as you can imagine. Get to the top, see the sign, stand there, take a photo, hike back down. But it was fun. After dinner, we went to this cute pub across the street that had all these ciders and special brews which were all delicious. Meanwhile, Lauren had lost her camera somewhere between relocating hostels and none of us could figure out where it went no matter how hard we searched. But more on that later…
