We take off our hiking shoes whenever the opportunity arises. After hiking for a few hours (with a few more to go) the sand on our toes was exactly what the doctor ordered. We are near the end of the Awaroa Crossing here and the hut just up ahead is an option for Abel Tasman hikers. We scoped it out and it was quite lavish. Flushing toilets, showers (cold) and safe drinking water. Pretty nice.
