Day 24

Keith has food poisoning, so day in Nelson & dinner in Mapua. Keith was up at 2am, 4am and 6am with food poisoning so he spent most of the day in bed. Zack and I went into town to enjoy the flea-market and Nelson city-centre. We wandered thru' the historical precinct and some fun shopping and jazz musician-watching. It's the Nelson Jazz Festival at the moment, so there were live performers at most major sites. What fun! We got back to Keith in the late afternoon and the boys went off to play in the local playground, while I tried to finish my book. On their return, we headed off to Mapua to a wonderful little harbour-side restaurant called the Smokehouse. We'd made a reservation, so we had the best seat in the house - a 270˚view of the waterside and Zack asleep in the car (Whoo-hoo). Wonderful fish and a bottle of Golden Bay 2001 bubbly. Fabulous! We sang "The wheels on the bus" all the way home with Zee.

ps. not a single poo today... Uh Oh! I'm worried about tonight and tomorrow morning :-(
