Abel Tasman-New Zealand

Saturday, February 22, 2014

The next day in Auckland we took a plane to a place called Nelson on the other island. Where we rented a car which we had all the time when we were on the other island. So we drove for about 1-2 hours to Abel Tasman national park, where we stayed for three nights and two days. We rented a cute little cottage just about 10-15 minutes outside the national park. The man we rented the cottage from had a beautiful garden with flowers, tomatoes, tangerines, lemons and plums and even chickens and hens. The first day we walked five km to a beach called Apple tree beach I think. The nature there was really cool, it was like a rainforest but it still  had pine trees and things like that, it was very special. All the nature on New Zealand was cool and beautiful! So we walked there and we walked back. My brother walked almost the whole way there and back I thought that was very well done of him since he is only five years old. We went back to the cottage to shower and stuff, then we went to a café/restaurant called 'The park café, the first and last' to eat dinner. The next day we walked about 3 km to a beach to swim, because the one we had been to the day before had been very windy and it had been quite a cold day that day. So we went to swim and the second day was warmer so it was nice! On our way back I slipped on loose gravel, and scratched me leg really badly :( It is better now but is still have a scab. We went to eat dinner at a place that was very near our cottage called 'The Fat Tui'. Where they served gigantic hamburgers, they were super good! Afterwards we went back to the cottage to pack and stuff, since we were leaving the next day.
