Sunday 16th November. Nothing much to report today. Drive from Blenheim to Marahue which is on the Southern end of the Abal Tasman National Park stopping in Nelson to use the Internet Cafe to update the blog. Book into George Bloomfield's B & B called The Stabbles - no horses now but he used to breed and train racehorses and hire out trekking ponies. He invites us to pick as many oranges and lemons as we like from his wonderful garden. There is a lot of fruit grown in this area and even hops for the local brewery. Our room is in a very well equiped Chalet and the breakfast is good. Poured with rain and blew a gale in the night.
