Motueka to Nelson

A pleasant stay in Motueka and somewhere we must revisit at a later date, just a lazy day wandering round the shops after our visit with Terrence and Mavis yesterday.   We had joined the other travellers at the Marchwood Park A&P grounds this morning.

Marchwood Park

This another good stop which has a large number of motorhomes and caravans wintering over in the relatively warm Tasman weather.   The camp is located on the edge of Motueka airport so there is a constant stream of entertainment taking off and flying in.

Pauline and I are moving on ahead of the others now and will relocate to Nelson for a couple of nights before catching the ferry home.   We all went out for a farewell dinner at the Motueka Hotel and a had a nice meal and drink or two before meeting back in Robin and Jennys caravan for a drink.

Farewell Dinner

We will miss the company of the others but it is nice that we were able to stay with them for the majority of our trip instead of having to race ahead as we thought we might have to do earlier.

We arrived in Richmond just 10 mins from Nelson and into another Racecourse, another place popular for wintering over and getting quite busy for those enjoying that lifestyle.   Richmond is a lovely satellite town outside Nelson and it enjoys good weather, shopping and a relaxed lifestyle.
