Nelson and Motueka

After leaving the ferry at Picton we drove through spectacular scenery, featuring vines and hops in the Marlborough wine growing region. Sadly we drove through without stopping. Nelson, home of craft beer was our first stop. Found a great little pub, Hawkers Bar and sampled the local produce, including oysters. Nice town. Cathedral here

24 degrees and beautiful sunshine( helps the grapes)

And the hops

Arrived our destination. Top 10 Motueka. Now preparing our greenlipped mussels, famous local produce of Havelock.
