  • Abel Tasman Coast Track: Day 2

    January 5, 2017 in New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ -1 °C

    After the first night we realized:

    1) we are getting old
    2) outside was for sure less than 15° and our sleeping bag was not warm enough
    3) even if we are over 30 camping is always exiting
    4) this place is awesome!!!

    Second day longer walk untill Bark bay (9.4 km low tide crossing) and we are loving even more this track (despite humidity ).

    Ps pre_cooked food was good!!!!

  • Abel Tasman Coast Track: Day 3

    January 6, 2017 in New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    Onetahuti bay: camping on the beach, maybe the best beach of the national park (probably because just in front of the Tonga Island marine reserve). Relaxing afternoon on the beach, romantic walk at the sunset and (just a few seconds after) sleepy bye for us!!!!

    I also saw just two meters after the shore, a ray fish!!!!!

  • Abel Tasman Coast Track: Day 4

    January 7, 2017 in New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    Early wakeup to reach in time the low tide at Awaroa: that crossing was fun and the water super cold!!!
    In the afternoon we stayed at Totaranui camping: finally a shower, electricity, a small supermarket, wifi and more than 20 people around us!
    Last dinner and night of the track... a little bit sad, but dreaming of a normal bed!!!

  • Abel Tasman Coast Track: Day 5

    January 8, 2017 in New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    When we opened our eyes was still night (5 am). So we got the opportunity to enjoy the sunrise and we started our last walk at 7 am.
    Therefore we arrived at the bus shuttle stop with 2 hours in advance. During that time we enjoyed the company of a waka, a new zealand flightless bird.

    The coast track was an unbelievable experience.

    Now it is time to go back to the civilization and some real relax time!!!

  • Hahei..... wow!!!!!!!

    January 9, 2017 in New Zealand ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    As usual, local bus companies are so friendly and nice but it takes sooooooooo much time to bring us to our final destination: Hahei holiday resort. It is a big camping but we are stayIng in a cute studio 10 steps away from the beach.
    Guys, the beach is unbelivable, beautiful and incredible.
    I can not wait for tomorrow to enojy it. In the mean time, we had the best burger of our honeymoon!!!!
    By the way: tomorrow my wife will have a yoga lesson at sunrise on the beach and I (not sure 100%) will have an early running along the beach.

    Let's start these last five days!!!
