Nelson to Wellington

We set up at Tahunanui Beach in Nelson. That Weekend was a flurry of screen printing, cooking classes(both thanks to Nico from Uruguay) and shows. I even got a visit from my Inspiration Andre Vegas the Illusionist, who watched my shows and gave me some ideas. He even spent a couple of hours sign writing the trolley I use in my Magic show.

While all the other Gypsy’s headed north we went back to Kina beach. We decided we were definitely coming back to Motueka for winter. It felt like coming home. On Tuesday I preformed my Magic show for the Motueka Steiner school. I was super excited to see my old school friends again and happy to know I would be going back there for the winter. After the show we went to Toad hall for real fruit ice-creams although I am dairy free so I had a coconut real fruit ice-cream. Yum! Then it was off to the resurgence for an icy cold dip.

The next day we spent a long boring day at riverside community while Dad fixed the truck, poor Daddy! That night we left for Graham river but just before we got there we came around the corner and slammed on the brakes. In front of us there was a terrible car crash. The whole front of the car had been smashed and the driver was badly hurt. Dad rushed to the scene and helped the man because he knew some first aid. It left me feeling shaken.

The next day we moved on from Graham river to Blenheim where we visited Cherry land. Cherry land is a cherry orchard where you can pick your own cherries for about half the price you can buy them from the supermarket. While you are picking you can eat as many as you want for nothing!

It was amazing how quickly we chewed through this bucket of cherries!

After that we drove our beautiful Mim onto the ferry, said good bye to the South island and hello to the North island. Wellington here we come!
