The Abel Tasman

After notorius packing and planning, we finally set off on our adventure! We were to be exploring the coast of the Abel Tasman National Park (together with 1000s of other tourist) by kayak and by foot! We kayaked for two days up the gnarly coastal waters, and then hiked back to the civilisation. We were well excited!

But of course, being the experienced campers as we are, we forgot the matches..and yep, even the lighter..But we kept our hopes up, and charming as we are, we managed to light our stove both the first nights seeing as we stayed at campsites with more experienced campers! Thank you, Sue and Rosie from keeping us alive!!


On the last night we ended up at a campsite all to our self! It was the most beautiful campsite in the world.. we fell asleep to the sound of singing bugs(and smell of insect repellent) and woke up to the most amazing sunrise and a cold morning bath! But despite the fact that this was the beach of our dreams, seeing as we were the only campers, we had noone to steal matches from! So we ended up eating what we had.. we had 2 slices of bread which we made really tasty with the half pepper we had left, we finished all of our cereal bars and shared an orange! We couldnt fit anymore in our bellies!!!
