On Thursday, March 6, 2014, Jody got off of work in the early afternoon and we went on a hike in Nelson. I had spent the previous day relaxing in our room and was ready for some exertion. We hiked up to the top of a mountain where there is a monument describing that point as "The Center of New Zealand." We then went hiking further along the ridge line until returning to the base of the mountains. We were so tired that we took a cab back to our hotel where I cooked a dinner of cheeseburgers and wine.
From the summit of "The Center."
Along the way I was having fun making sheep noises to get their attention. Jody thought that this sheep might have designs on me. I immediately desisted and moved along as I was not in any way a lonely sheep herder :-).
I just love Jody's panoramas.
Hiking down from the mountains was beautiful and serene.
As we planned, at the bottom we visited the beautiful and serene Miyazu Japanese garden presented in the mid-90's to New Zealand in recognition of its sister city relationship with Japan.
