NELSON & ABEL TASMAN<br />
NEW ZEALAND<br />
picture perfect landscapes<br />
<strong>Full</strong> of artists, sculptors and<br />
potters, Nelson is New Zealand’s<br />
creative capital. Thanks to the<br />
resulting amounts of tie-dye and<br />
a glorious coastal palette, it’s<br />
also the most liberal and liveable<br />
of NZ towns. Daubed in sunshine<br />
and gateway to the country’s best<br />
loved national park, the inspiration<br />
is clear. Abel Tasman’s miles of<br />
walking trails, endless curves of<br />
golden beach and brilliant green<br />
waters are a world-famous hikers<br />
paradise (see page p.161)<br />
