Simon & Caroline's World Tour 07/08

The little city of Nelson doesn't look as though it will detain you for long, but it does have a few things of interest. First off, there's the Lord of the Rings jeweller, that had replicas of the actual ring, including a 6 incher used for the opening scenes. Then there's the weird cathedral spire, grey and hollow, looking a bit like it's made from scaffolding. Finally, there's the geographical centre of NZ, inconveniently at the top of a huge steep hill. At least it got our blood flowing and our cheeks flushing!
