Tombstone’s backpackers hotel in Picton

Tombstone’s backpackers hotel

Across from Picton’s cemetery is backpackers hotel Tombstone’s, driven by Gary and Nikki. It’s a cool place, no bullshit and tightly run so don’t make a mess. The common room has 80s music on Iggy Pop, Madness, and more. We relax while outside the tail of Cyclone Gabrielle races by.

Letter to a stranger

Great ideas in Rob Walker’s The Art of Noticing:

  • Write a letter to a random person and leave it anywhere.
  • Write a book about your memories. Write what you remember, without further research.
