Kiddies not too well today Matt suffering with a cold and Emily’s toe is playing up so in good parenting style we left them behind with pizzas and Pringles.

Me and Mel drove done to the Abel Tasman National park.

Abel Tasman National Park is a national park located at the north end of the South Island of New Zealand. It is named after Abel Tasman, who in 1642 became the first European explorer to sight New Zealand.

The track is well signposted and laid out and we were able to find some really beautiful secluded beaches and coves. Indeed off season it was deserted and luckily despite being cold was very sunny which made the views perfectly set. Let’s do it in pictures!
