Took the Kiwi Ex to Nelson - stopping at Prince Alberts on the first night, then moved to Camping at Paradiso - an excellent hostel.
Although I was not planning to, I have booked myself on the bus out to the Abel Tasman Coastal Track tomorrow. I plan to walk the 51km Track end to end and then come back again over 3 days - using my light gear and bivi bag ;-). So I will mostly be eating mixed nuts for the next 3 days as its the ultimate backpacking food.
This means I will be offline and out of phone reception for the next 3 days……
