Saturday Market

On Saturday the 2 Isabels decided to visit the Saturday morning market in Nelson and have a look around at some of the shops which had been pointed out on the bus trip. Nelson's Saturday market is an acclaimed local icon with 100 plus local stalls of fresh produce, food, fashion, art and crafts which serve to showcase the innovation, creativity and abundance of the Nelson Region. It reflects the beauty and diversity of the region and highlights the innovative creativity of the people who live in Nelson.

The Isabels spent a couple of hours browsing the stalls and just enjoying the laid back ambiance of the day.





The also took a stroll along Historic South Street
South St, one of seven heritage precincts in Nelson, is believed to be New Zealand's oldest entire street of homes still standing. Although many of them have been slightly altered or restored and one remodelled significantly after a fire, South St is essentially "original," often described by visitors as "a movie set."
