oh, let's take the rolls

Today was Sarah's first day of work at the Rutherford Hotel, so I was left to explore Nelson on my own.

I decided, against the advice of the hostel receptionist, to walk to the World of Wearable Art & Collectable Cars Museum. It didn't look all that far on the map… oh, but it was.

Definitely worth it though – it's a strange pairing concept, but one that worked surprisingly well.

The costumes were really cool – a flapper dress made from Q-Tips, a suit of armor from spent bullet casings, a black-light section, a suit made out of neckties, his-n-hers outfits from used bike tires.

I picked a good day to go – the Nelson Classic Car club was there offering rides, included in the museum admission price, in any of 4 classic cars. I went for a spin in a red Rolls Royce Silver Sprite.
