Last day in Nelson

I woke up to a cloudy day, seeing from the window that the white sky was on the edge of the head of hills. Cars drove on roads and people walked in streets - it was the end of my journey.

I planed a leisure walk in town. I would like to enjoy the city’s special vibe . However, it was a pity not able to going to the national park in Nelson.

In the morning, I went to a local market. I had a coffee and a croissant. Then I soaked myself into the public library. I picked up a book talking about death.

The afternoon I spent in the museum and souvenir shops. But I never went to the art galleries because I think it is a waste of time.

Anyway, I felt pleased about this journey. The performance on stage was fun. Also it was my first time traveling alone.

We don't describe any part of hills as a "head", I think you might mean the peak or the edge depending on which angle you were looking out your window from.

"soaked" is nearly always used literally. If you want the metaphorical meaning, immersed is better.

You use "anyway" to redirect yourself to a previous topic when you've gone off on a tangent. You never strayed from the topic, so the "anyway" feels redundant here.

Sounds like a wonderful trip :)

Thank you. It is really enjoyable, also a good chance to practice speaking English.

Not quite sure what you mean by the very last bit. You could the white sky above the tops of the hills, I assume. I think a more natural sentence would be: "... seeing the white sky above the hilltops."

"soaked" sounds too literal here, like you're getting wet.

Haha, I don't care for art museums either. That sounds like a really fun trip! I'd never heard of Nelson, NZ before!

It is! Nelson is on the South Island. It is a city of art. There are many music events here in the summer and I came there for a classical guitar summer school.
