  • Top of the South - Wlth Rts Wlne, Lts Natural Beauty, Us Sunshlne Charms Every Tlme
    The top of the sOuth - wlth rts Wlne, ltS natural beauty, us sunshlne charms every tlme akaka Hill divides the vineyards and apple orchards of the Nelson region from the lush green patchwork of dairy farms of Golden Bay, the road traversing it Tcontaining a series of bends so acute and significant some of them are even named: signposts tell you exactly which U-turn has forced you into first gear or permeated the air with the tang of overheated breaks. As I climbed higher in the early morning, the mist settled on the Nelson side took on the appearance of a puddle cloaking the town of Motueka, and I passed at one point - full of sympathy and admiration - a pair of cyclists suffering up the hill. It's part of the country I know well: as children we took holidays in the region; as a young adult, I spent summers picking apples or grapes and descending on Nelson and Golden Bay and surrounds for New Year's Eve. But it was the spirit of the former I tried first to invoke. Straight from the airport, I headed far up Aniseed Valley, where gorse choked the verges and groves of birch trees hid the contours of the Serpentine River, trying to find the swimming holes remembered from childhood.
