Nelson is described by Lonely Planet as a "Paragliding Haven" - not when it is in a howling gale being thrashed by the the rain its not! The ferries from Picton to Wellington were booked until the evening so we were left with walking around Nelson for a few hours (dull) followed by a trip that would have been scenic, if we'd been able to see it, to Picton to wait on the ferry.
Amazingly the ferry crossing was smooth and we arrived in Wellington 10.20pm and a short trip (having got directions from bar staff on the ferry) to Kilburnie to meet up and stay with one of Carolyn's old friends.
