Abel Tasman National Park

After a lazy morning, we drove to Kaiteriteri at the start of the Abel Tasman National Park where we joined a small cruise boat to take us up the beautiful coastline as far as Onetahuti and Tonga Island. There were plenty of Australasian gannets and Caspian terns flying about all the way and at Tonga Island a small seal colony was lazing on the rocks.

It's amazing how many English tourists we have met and spoken with on our holiday so far. This seems to be the year in which everyone from England is having a holiday in NZ.

  1. Hi Rog,

    Mark Sutton here. I've just been spending a few moments reading your blog - it's really enjoyable and some great pictures. Sounds like you're having a great time out there. I wasn't sure if you and Jon Big had coordinated your visits to NZ to set up an Antipodean Sepura. I look forward to the next installment.

    Take care.
    cheers
    Mark
