The Looooong Trek Home Part 2: Nelson
Having never been to Nelson, and looking forward to catching up with Jenny, Marcus and the Hud, I was excited initially about this part of the trek.
By Rangiora I was ready to sleep.
Loaded with more panadol, we kept at it until we had lunch at Blenheim, and finally turned onto the Nelson road.
It was fab to catch up with the Collings Clan - and see the ultrasound of the new addition, even if I couldn't quite work out the limbs/facial features/umbilical cord - and have some laughs and debriefs. Marcus commented how he had never seen me so quiet - I was just trying not to complain about the ever-increasing pain in my mouth. Fortunately a lady in their corps works for a dentist and while they couldn't fit me in, Jen got me loaded up on Ibuprofen and the pain subsided incredibly! Praise the Lord!!!
Aside from that, Nelson seems like a lovely place and they have a wonderful house, so I'll be sure to be back for a decent stay and sightsee next time.
I'll post a couple of photos when I get my card reader thing working properly.
