Breakfast at the school and then time to head back to Nelson for some school visits and continue on to Havelock for lunch. Coming back into Nelson we were feeling a little disadvantaged due to our size and the lack of noise, cause our horn did not work. We stopped by a local auto wreckers and secured for ourselves some horns. He was most obliging - a former Aussie. When we arrived at the picturesque Havelock right on the water we were given some 'can air horns' that work really well. We spotted the Air force Boys so we rushed to them with our new horns. They were more than eager to install them in the mini.
We went over to lunch and enjoyed the scenery. When it was time to go they had moved the car into a more prominent position supposedly for our ease of getting out. We took off only to have an overwhelming yell to stop - well yes they had wired the horn to our brake.....
We all met just on the outskirts of Picton for a convoy into the main street and down to the foreshore for some presentations and the inevitable water fight.
It was then on to Blenheim for the evening. Here we picked up our second consignment of cupcakes for Auckland.
Dinner was at a winery - stunning location on the edge of town.
It was a relatively early night as we were anting to be on the road by 5 O'clock to be first at the boat as we had decided to raffle a 'Bakers Dozen Cupcakes' on the ferry.
