Leaving Golden Bay

After a thoroughly delightful week in the Golden Bay area we depart today for Marahau, on the southern border of Abel Tasman Park. It's about a 1+30 drive thru the hills to get to the other side.

Been hiking up a storm and generally taking advantage of a week of Chamber of Commerce weather - each day more pretty than the last.

Here are a few more photos to give you an idea what we've been up to.


At the top of the Coastal Walk with Farewell Spit in the background

Stopped on this hillside to just stretch out and read a book for an hour or so


It's difficult to pick the prettiest beach in New Zealand but this one in Abel Tasman Park has to be on the Top Ten list - and there was nobody here.


Met some locals on the trail hiking one day. Although these were wild goats they weren't too skittish as you can see, but rather approached us to see what we were.



The wind does kick up here a bit in the Winter months

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Looks like a blast--I put one of those beach pictures as my desktop background...pretty amazing country you're in. Have fun!--Mike
