I had one rest day where I was planning where to go hiking, or tramping as they say in NZ. I figured out that I would go to Abel Tasman national park and go for a walk on the coast….similar to West Coast Trail, except shorter, less concerns about the tides….and no ladders!!!! I had to book a bus from Christchurch to Nelson, that’s a 10 hour ride. Then the next morning a bus to get to the park. I have a hut booked for the first night which is good as it will be raining that day. The next two nights I’ll be tenting….so hopefully it won’t be raining. Then I’ll take the water taxi back to the start….a bus back to Nelson in the afternoon. The following morning a bus back to Christchurch. Sounds like a lot of logistics….but it’s not so bad.
Yesterday it was threatening to rain all day, but it held off. We went for a little hike in the hills behind their house. Many people were out….it was a nice cool day. Beautiful views…and I had the opportunity to finally try out a cheese roll!!! Great two days.
