In February 2023 I visited Wellington and did a short trip to Nelson, Tasman and Golden Bay Region. Amongst other things I did a 4 day cycling trip called “The great Taste Trail” from Nelson via Motueka, Kaiteriteri, Tapawera back to Nelson. Also I went on a road trip along the golden Bay Coast via Takaka and Collingwood up to Farewell Spit, visiting all the iconic landmarks along the way.
