Helped by the satnav I found the Boat Shed tonight –a Nelson institution, according to the Lonely Planet’s Guide to eating in this compact city. Rather nice and rather posh –roses, candles and Late Junction music, and willing to give a table to this tired, shabby and hungry person.

I walked back to the car along the quayside –can’t wait to see it all in daylight. I plan to join the locals at the Sunday market for breakfast and a look at some local art & crafts.
