Marahau Day 1
It was a beautiful, clear morning and this pony trek outside our room looked very inviting - sadly I’m so allergic to horses that I can only admire from afar.
We had to use our own two legs and headed off into Abel Tasman National Park and New Zealand’s most popular Great Walk.
There is a 5 day walk available with camping, water taxis and kayaking as options. We just simply walked today and it was a stunning 12km out and back walk to Apple Tree Bay.
By the time we got back to Marahau, the tide was completely in and it looked so different - there is a huge 6 metre tidal difference.
All that exertion required a yummy late lunch at ‘Hooked’ on a outdoor terrace with a gorgeous view. Obviously Sauvignon featured..
I had to have a little nap after all that exertion (and wine) and then had a happy evening planning the next stage of the trip and having a chat to this local resident.
Apparently he is a Pukeko and according to a NZ bird identification website, is interesting for having a complex social life - he wasn’t keen on salt and vinegar crisps.
