Picton to Nelson

12.May 2010 - Nelson


Our first stop today was at a winery where we intended a wine-taster for only 2$. We tried 3 different kind of wines (3 white and one red one). The first one was the best, so I bought a bottle for only 10$ for Jill?s Birthday. I hadn?t had any alcohol for the last two weeks, so the wine made me really tipsy. And it was only 11am. But I had a good sleep in the bus after that.
When we finally arrived at late afternoon in Nelson Jill already waited for me at the hostel. We met with two other german girls at the I-side that I was talking to on the Magic Bus. We compared prizes for the Able Tasman Park, cause we were thinking about renting a car, but it wasn?t really cheaper than going by bus so we booked the bus-ride for next day.
Jill and me were so excited for the free Chocolate custard, we always counted the hours. So when a girl asked us about the time we said: ?Only 3 more hours till Chocolate time?.
And the waiting was worth it. It tasted a bit like a cake with an awesome melted chocolate on top with Vanilla ice-cream. The best dessert I ever had?
