Nelson and Wellington: Starting the second chapter with reaching the North Island
Coming to Nelson meant meeting our friend Calum whose parents live there and he hosted us for some days. That meant no biking but hiking and some good time in and around the city. Afterwards we made our way to Picton from where we would take the ferry to Wellington which would close the chapter of the South island and open the chapter of the North island of New Zealand for us.
