Mountain & Beach in Nelson
I flew down to Nelson 3 weeks ago. Plan to stay here until September or October. Its a great little town for outdoor activities & fitness training. My gym chain Cityfitness has 2 gyms in town & there are many training options in town. There is even a dedicated EMS clinic in town & an HBOT rehab clinic, also a floatation center.
There are full on alpine mountains with snow & beautiful scenery, also subtropical beaches and bays for boating, fishing, kayaking and diving.
Best of all this is excellent hiking and hunting territory. I have done 2 hill hikes so far & will build up for 2 months before hitting the alpine adventures in spring time.
