New Zealand 38 Double The Usual Cost

 The sign postings were infrequent and uninformative so we really had no idea how long we had to go when Matt informed me that it would be best to drive the rest of the way down the mountain in neutral so as not to burn any more fuel. About 17km later we pulled into a petrol station in the middle of nowhere and happily paid double the usual cost of fuel.

We made it to Nelson and kicked around the shops for a few hours. Ate lunch and we were back on our way to Abel Tasman.
