We bought one coffee mug in this color pottery. Green inside and black outside with a really nice handle. We also bought a bag of plums and some delicious garlic salt.
We went to a museum with a lot of history of Nelson. Very nicely done and reasonably priced entrance fee.
Next we headed to south street pottery shop. Wow. Some of the potters we had seen the day before, some we saw at the market and some we hadn't seen at all yet. I wasn't sure about their policy of taking photos so I just snapped a few.
All of New Zealand seems to be about walking. Walking paths everywhere. Well maintained almost no litter.
After all that we had coffee (organic fair trade ) and walked back to the inn to drop off our purchases.
From there we walked to Queens garden. And also saw the Chinese garden.
We then walked around down to the waterfront along the river that is near our inn. We stopped at the riverside restaurant for lunch. I had linguini with mussels, shrimp and squid. And of course a beer. Dana had fried squid and a salad. Mussel inn was recommended to us to eat at but we didn't make it so sampling their beer was the next best thing.
We made it to the marina. Very pretty area.
We ended up at another resaurant having some half glasses of beer and sharing half dozen fried bluff oysters. Bluff oysters are a regional specialty.
Had a nice walk back and was greeted by the friendly door to the inn. All together about 7 1/4 miles of walking today.
Since we had a really nice dinner last night and a good lunch today we are just having some wine we bought yesterday. Salami. Cheese crackers and fruit for supper tonight. This was a down day. Not as much activity as some of our other days but very pleasant and excellent weather.

Sounds like a full day with over 7 miles of walking!
