New Zealand - Nelson Region

May 22, 2003 (Havelock & Nelson & Reefton, New Zealand)
After picking up the car in Picton, we headed off west towards Nelson, stopping at Havelock on the way for lunch. After spending time in Nelson, we continued southwest towards the coast, driving through some really windy roads, stopping in Reefton for dinner and ending up in Greymouth for the night.

We ran very low on gas out in the middle of nowhere late at night and stumble upon a self-service Mobil station in the town of Reefton

We had a lot of difficulty figuring out how to activate the pumps and Ken comes to the rescue after discovering they don't accept Visa. Odd that they only take Amex.

Dinner at Inawcahua Arms Hotel, the only place that was open for dinner in Reefton this late at night. Afterwards, we drove to the coast and stayed in the town of Greymouth.
