New Zealand 37 Empty Petrol

Today we headed towards Abel Tasman National Park but decided to stop along the way in Nelson. Nelson is a really cute, funky little town with lots of good shops and eateries. Not particularly scenic but a fun drive all the same. Matt decided (he claims it wasn't deliberate) to kick up the excitement just a bit by testing the van to determine when empty petrol really means empty. We happened to be on a road with absolutely no signs of human life (there were lots and lots of sheep) so whether we made it or not was of dire consequence- to me at least.
