We spent the night in Nelson and started our day taking a tour of the Aquaculture and Cawthron Institute outside of town. We had the opportunity to learn the process of breeding, growing, and cultivating algae and shellfish (green mussels, oysters, and abalone). It is quite the process and quite the up and coming business in NZ.
Currently, we are back in Nelson having lunch and a "look around". Food is definitely not a top priority for me, but getting the blog up to date was. I'm so excited that I have a free hour of internet at the public library -- thank goodness for geocaching so that I was able to find the place this morning.
We are headed off to Kaikoura this afternoon which will be where we catch the Whale Watch ship for tomorrow. More about that on a future posting.
Our time in NZ is coming quickly to a close. Everyone is getting excited about the unknowns of Mongolia.
