🚗 North & South Island Road Trip — Day 11: Charming Nelson 🌿

Today marks the final day of our South Island adventure before heading back to the North Island by ferry tonight. While the South Island’s landscapes are undeniably breathtaking, I’ve gotta admit—I’m starting to miss home! 😂 🌊 Nelson: A Slice of Slow Living Retiree paradise: By night, elderly locals dance wildly in bars 🕺💃; by morning, they’re strolling hand-in-hand with their dogs along the beach. Goals, right? 🐕‍🦺❤️ Vibe check: This town oozes relaxation—no rush, just coastal charm and golden-hour magic. 🚶‍♀️ How to Really Know a City? Forget just driving to sights. Walk its streets, sip coffee at a dockside café, and let its quirks sink in. That’s how you uncover a place’s soul. #NZRoadTrip #NelsonVibes #SlowTravel #SouthIslandNZ
