Sunday, 20 December
Travel day! We bid adieu to Nelson, the geographic centre of New Zealand, to travel to the North Island.
We began the day with brekky at River Kitchen, then walk along the River Walk. The Maitai River, by the way, is tidal.
We then went to Ann's Nelson marker, WOW: World of WearableArt

The concept is that the human body becomes the artists' canvass, although the designs are more sculptural than painterly.

We missed Abel Tasman National Park, so will plan to visit Abel Tasman and see the WOW show in Wellington in October 2017, when we return.

Wow, indeed. Nice marker! I think the designers at Vogue have been to this museum. Very fun.
