Drove on to Nelson passing Queen Charlotte and Pelorus Sound. We passed straight through Nelson and stopped just north at Rabbit Island. We flitted round the outside of the Abel Tasman National Park stopping at the Ngarua Caves. The caves were pretty cool as it was very touristy and the chap who did the tour had basically excavated the caves himself. He was very informative on the formations of the caves and the staligtites and stalimites. He had also uncovered remains from a Moa (the NZ dinosaur) in these caves and very proudly showed off his wares.
We continued up to Farewell Spit which is the most northern part of the South Island. Not particularly exciting, but it's always good to say that you've been.
Headed back to Motueka and stayed at the Happy Apple hostel. Had dinner in the Dodgy Ref.
