Ferry to South Island & Abel Tasman National Park

Wellington was a pretty cool city. By far had the most character than any of the other cities so far. There was a young downtown energy on Cuba Street. Due to the rainy weather we saw "Four Holidays" also know as "Four Christmas'" in the States. We have to say we loved it! Vince Vaughn was at his type-casted best.

After a day of prepping we took the 3 hour car ferry to the South Island. Once again we both got sea sick! Almost as soon as we arrived the sun finally came out! We drove through Marlborough to Abel Tasman National Park. The Park sits on the northern rocky coastline with white sandy beaches nestled in the many bays. We were so happy when we drove up to our guesthouse that resembles a Swiss Chalet in the Alps. The next day we went on a full day sea kayak excursion where we saw many sea lions and crystal clear turqoise water. Lunch was on a secluded beach. Tonight we are cooking dinner for our hosts. Tomorrow we are going on a 7-hour hike which visits the inland areas we saw while sea kayaking.

Watch how you go...
