Off to South Island

Lots of travelling today - a 3 1/2 hour drive to Auckland airport, drop off hire car,  a 1 1/2 hour flight to Nelson, pick up another hire car, a 1 hour drive to Abel Tasman via a supermarket for more essential Sauvignon.  It all went surprisingly smoothly, aided by some great NZ coffee.



We are staying at Abel Tasman Lodge in Marahau, on the edge of the National Park where the Coast Track starts.
The view from the room is to the mountains with lots of birds, friendly horses  and very noisy crickets.



It’s a short walk to the beach and I had to go and have a paddle before dinner - I think I’m going to like it here..
