Introduction

As a wearer in the Masterworks Broach of the Month Club 2010, Jo Mears and partner/BOM maker Sharon felt obliged to take Ross Malcolm's brooch 'In the Pink' on tour with them as they set out on a three week adventure with sixty other kombis around the South Island of New Zealand to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Volkswagen Type II in New Zealand.

Pink days in Nelson and Marlborough

Day Four - Picton to Carol's house in Nelson.  Beautiful drive through McCahonesque hills and vineyards a plenty.  If we had bothered to look at a real map before we set off this morning we would have taken the coastal route. Have discovered that Wanda has the same Left-Right dislexia as Joey. Breakfast by the boats of Havelock. Everyone here is looking at us strangely. We were followed into Havelock by one blue 1967ish beetle - we got quite excited and waved at him but Mr beetle owner was grumpy and non responsive. Weird. Is it because we are pink and purple or are they just grumpy in this area?

Tried to convince Wanda to find her way to New World, gave up, then saw it around the corner from Repco. Camped in Carol's backyard for the next few nights while the Volkswagen Nationals are on down the road in Founders Park.
