The Flight of Dean and TK by ferry to Abel Tasman

My blogging has become extremely inefficient lately. Truth is that I've been rather busy and, perhaps more importantly, it seems a better use of my limited time here to be out and about, instead of stuck in front of a computer.

TK arrived from Finland on Monday afternoon, luckily only 10 minutes late this time. This morning, March 19th, we are sailing off to South Island again. This trip we shall not travel thousands of kilometres by road but shall limit ourselves to adventures in and around the Abel Tasman National Park in the northern part of South Island. The park is said to be one of the most beautiful in New Zealand and gives great opportunities for trekking by foot, boat or kayak. We plan to try all three modes.

I don't expect to find any phone or wireless networks there so e-mailing, tweeting and blogging will be on hold till next week. The weather forecast for the next days in that region is pretty good (unlike most of New Zealand) so we are looking forward to some active exploration and a few thousand more photo opportunities.
