Abel Tasman National Park, South Island, New Zealand
Tuesday, November 17, 2009
Said goodbye to Dan and Iain last night although we were awoken by Dan at 6am as their car wouldn't start, unable to assist we went back to bed. They made it to their flight just on time. Our journey to Abel Tasman was around 7 hours, on route we had a few stops. First Pancakes and Blowholes, this is a collection of rocks that resemble piles of pancakes. At high tide the waves enter the gaps and blow up like geysers. See pics to explain! After that we stopped by a beach for lunch. About halfway we stopped at New Zealand's longest swing bridge, the pictures don't show the height but was quite scary to cross! Once arrived in Moeteka we visited the supermarket and saw a bit of home on the shelves, see pic! We were staying in Marahau beach camp site and booked to do Sea Kayaking the following day.
