Nelson

Nelson is supposed to be one of the nicest towns to live in in New New Zealand. For us, it was all about playgrounds. Alexander spent the morning at a "Chipmonks", an indoor playground for kids. There was a killer slide (in my case, almost literally), a ball pit, ride-on toys, a climbing maze and much, much more. Alexander clearly could have spent two weeks in there!

Nelson has a very good Saturday market, with very good quality crafts and other items for sale. Ilona found the first "real" bratwurst in New Zealand: it tasted just like back at home, right down to the "right" bun.

Afternoon was spent at a very large playground near the beach. Dinner at a seafood restaurant, where the staff was wowed by Alexander's portable DVD player.
