Trafalgar
Well, well, small world. Turns out that the two kids that Max & Erin had befriended a couple of days ago have caught up with us and are staying on the same site. Not only that, but they're from Wheatley.
Anyway, we drove the short distance to Nelson and eventually managed to find a parking space just out of the city centre. We'll have to put it on the list of places to visit next time we come (!). Lots of interesting craft-y shops & things. Had a great time watching a paperweight being made in the Flamedaisy glass studio in Trafalgar Something (Square? Street? Row? Most streets seem to be Trafalgar something in Nelson). They were great with Max & Erin. Came away with an urge to try my hand at glass blowing.
Finally headed up towards Blenheim & camped on a delightfully dated site where I was greeted by a nice chap smelling of beer. However, it was fine, though Max & Erin found the unheated pool a bit chilly (brrr...)
