Our two days and three nights in the Abel Tasman National Park have been great and the weather fantastic. The coastline is rugged with lots of golden beaches and these can only be reached by boat.
There is coastpath which is really the only way to cover the Abel Tasman coastline and both days we spent walking the path.
The views through the forest down to the clear blue waters were amazing...
Now the tricky part of walking the coastpath is working with the tides - if the tides are low at the right time walking across the estuaries is possible - although it can still be rather wet.....and of course this is what I wanted to do. So on the first day Arthur went knee high into the mud....
and had to recover
and on the second day he went thigh high through an incoming tide :o)
I was not popular......
Look at the empty beach!
And some great health and safety.......in December heavy rain had washed away the one and only road into the park and there had been a lot of collapsed cliff - but the path was still open
The sign says 'one person at a time'
and this was underneath....
and round the corner
more collapsed cliff.
Absolutely beautiful :o)
