2008 1/21 NZ, Nelson Lakes


The kind DOC Agent let us know the weather forecast for Nelson Lakes wasn't very promising for the next few days, so we immediately headed to the park and hit the trail. We enjoyed a very nice walk through the Beech Tree forest beside the lake.

We were glad we did as we were held-up in our room for the next 2 days due to stormy weather. We were getting the remnants of Typhoon Funa, which lost strength and was downgraded to a tropical storm, which brought steady torrents of rain to the area.


We took the opportunity to catch up on laundry, and read a a bit. Since there were no other towns nearby we had to make due with the one cafe and convenience store in town for our food. The only activities were hiking or boating - since those were not an option - we watched chose between our books and the 2 stations broadcasting on the TV.
