If you arrive at Nelson by land, chances are, you will go around the corner of Gavin's sculpture and end up in the Millers Acre car park, just to the right of the Information Centre building.
The main road is Trafalgar Street, and at the other end of this street, up on Church Hill, is the Nelson Cathedral. Looking up Trafalgar Street, to the right on the kitty-corner, is the magnificent City Council building with the Post Office on the ground floor and Inland Revenue somewhere above it. (Living in a newish country and a newish city, I have a bad case of Old-Building envy, which will manifest itself in due course, I'm sure.)
Unless, of course, you take the Intercity Bus, in which case you will be dropped off at the Nelson Suburban Bus Line/Intercity Bus building on Bridge Street. Walk up Bridge Street to where all the commotion is, and that's Trafalgar Street; Millers Acre and the City Council building are to your left, and the Cathedral is to your right.
If you're meeting me, I'll be waiting at Zest on Bridge Street, on the ground floor of the house almost across Bridge Street from Intercity, not to be confused with Zest on Church Street. I'll buy you coffee; it's really nice to meet you.
(As many of you have commented, one notices new things in familiar surrounds when seeing it through the lens. I go to Zest two to three times a week but I never noticed the building is shaped like ... a house.)
