READ POSTCARDS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

Here are some postcards from travellers who have already been on a Great Escapade with us - you might get some ideas!

Nelson

We are writing to you from a lovely corner of the world in Nelson, New Zealand which is the gateway to the Marlborough wine region.

Today was our second day on Lake Rotorua which is a lake that was formed by volcanic activity and offers some of the most rewarding trout fishing in the region as well as sailing and kayaking. My husband and I have found that fishing is a wonderful leisure activity and a lovely way to meet some locals.

We have also enjoyed a barbeque with some of the people who are staying nearby and had a wonderful trip to the Able Tasman Park which is very famous. We've also been spending time at Mapua Wharf, where the quality of arts and crafts available in the markets has been very impressive as was the fresh seafood.

Still having a delightful time.

Mr and Mrs Alan Wieland
