I arrived safely in Nelson on Saturday after my epic journey and was immediately invited to dinner with the neighbours, who also had me over for breakfast the next morning and took me on a shopping tour of Nelson. Nelson is beautiful, the countryside reminds me of Switzerland but with lots of huge American-style cars roaming around. The little house is very comfortable and Oscar and I are getting on really well. Although, he was sick in the lounge yesterday evening (and then just hopped out of the window without making any attempt to clear it up, which I thought was a little rude.) I spent my first day in the hospital today, the 'emerg' has about 6 beds and one doctor - but it was more interesting and busier than any of my time in A&E at Welwyn Garden City I've already seen a chainsaw injury, an OD and lots more. I will try and keep the blog updated, please add your comments. Love to you all.
