PICTURE: Abel Tasman National park
Well we are the real deal outdoors men now! We took the bus from Franz Josef to Nelson, it was a very long bus ride but we got to stop at the Punikaki pancake rocks on the way, very cool! When we arrived in Nelson we spent the first day organizing our lives for the next week and booking accomodation etc. At night we went to a local brewery and trialled 10 beers for 10 dollars, good deal! The next day we were up at 5:45am and we went on a day trip to the Abel Tasman National park. Our day consisted of a 3 hr Kayak along the coast line and a 3 hr hike up over the park to the other side where we caught a water taxi back. The park was so beautiful and we met a really nice couple from Scotland that we spent the day with. We even took a dipp in the icy water of Cleopatras pool which had a natural water slide cut out of the rocks.
Yesterday we took a bus to Picton from Nelson and then the Interislander ferry to Wellington. On our way we saw a pod of atleast 100 dolphins (no exageration!) jumping through the waves, sooo... cool. Glenns camera battery decided to break so we didn't get it on video but we bought a new battery today so that does not happen again! Last night we were able to meet up with Brenda a client from back home and we went out for malaysian food, suprisingly good and glenn even enjoyed it too! We are in Wellington till tomorrow and then we head to Taupo to do another hike in Tongariro National park to see Volcanos! Should be fun, we are having a blast and will let you know whats happenning next very soon!!!
Love Jen and Glenn XOXO
