Yesterday we had spent some time in the Abel-Tasman Nationalpark and went for some walks after we had booked our kayaks for the following day. 🙂 We found some beautiful mussels and shells on the beach, it was low-tide and so we could walk in the sand. 🙂

 

The night we slept in our car again. 🙂

 

Today we got up at 7:00 o’clock, prepared everything for our kayak tour and met our instructor at 8:15.. 🙂 She gave us some important safety instructions.

 

 

 

 

 

When she was finished Tim Lars and me started our kayaking-tour.

 

just beautiful

Our first destination was Appletree Bay. That is a nice lonely beach, where we spent half of our day,  tanned and went swimming. 🙂 After lunch ( self-prepared sandwiches) we paddled to the nearest island hoping to see some seals, but unfortunately didn’t see any. 🙁 Then we just enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the sea and all the small islands around us in the Abel-Tasman Nationalpark. 🙂

 

 

 

 

After having returned to Mahanau beach (from where we had started) we continued our trip to Nelson. We could possibly stay there at Luke’s, a friend of mine, whom I  had met in the meditation course). 🙂
