Abel Tasman ... a must

the southern island has a variety of impressions for you. In my next articles you'll find beautiful nature in very different kinds.

For instance Abel Tasman:

The Abel Tasman Coastal Treck is one of the great walks in NZ of the Department of Conservation.
So it's the right place to go for a walk. We did 24 km on our first day to Bark Bay. There we were picked up for a kayak-trip on the second day. We liked that combination - especially our feet

blue water,
golden beaches,

lush, dense rainforest 

  And the kayaking brings a different view from the seaside

rocky coastline
- home to seals
may be we are lucky?

                                          our guide - a real kiwi. Most of his stories are unbelievable.
                                               Can you imagine the vikings came to NZ long before the Maori did?
