Well, I survived my first day here. I managed to navigate the left side of the street, get a little settled, and buy a second hand bicycle. I now have wheels and it seems a lot easier than driving.
There are no internet cafes here! I am currently paying $20 nzd for 4 hours of access. Bummer. I learned a new term on the plane over. That is "sleep rug" which in our terms is a blanket. Funny. I am going to try to add a "kiwi-ism" to each blog entry. Stay tuned.
The little grocery store about 1/2 block from my place has a beer dispenser that you can bring a 2 liter bottle to and fill 'er up. A novel concept in keeping with NZ's keen sense of recycling.
This morning was the weekly market at Nelson. Very fun. Some pictures are attached (maybe).
I will try to upload some pictures. 'Til next time.

Hi Scott,It looks like a beautiful day - and a ride on a bicycle would be perfect! Are Brenda and Chris with you? Thanks for keeping the blog.

what is one nzd to usd ($)?
also, have you gotten the sticks out yet? take some photos of that for me. Gophers-Sioux right now. I'm going to tape all the games for you, so don't look at the scores!
Hi Scott,
I am jealous. Sunny skies, biking, golfing. Look forward to your daily updates and more pictures.
