Abel Tasman

We did the Abel Tasman national park by kayak. I got to share with an English guy who was very eager, so I quite enjoyed the ride and my arms didn't hurt too much the following day. Such is life.

I wish I'd had more time to spend in the northern tip of the south island. Between Malborough Sounds and Abel Tasman, it was all lush green hills gently rolling into the calm turquoise waters - and sunshine. Simply glorious.

Not nearly enough pictures to do it justice, but I just didn't trust myself with my camera on a kayak!
