Have you missed us?! Another
epic adventure back down to the south island has separated our voice from your
eyes but now we’re back to tell the tale. Joined by our friend Anna, we left the laptops
at home and spent 3 days hiking on the Queen Charlotte Sound track and 3 days
kayaking in Abel Tasman National Park. With
the exception of 12 plus hours huddled in a tent to avoid a monsoon on day 1 in
Abel Tasman, the weather gods were in a bright mood and blessed our trip with
incredible sunshine. Rare was the moment
where I wasn’t humming a happy tune. Invigorated soul - check.

Before BanAnna’s ferry arrived from Wellington, Paul and I
drove from Blenheim down the east coast to Kaikoura. The highlight to a superior day was just
before sunset when we found a spot to walk inland from the beach through a bit
of forest to a waterfall where heaps of baby fur seals were frolicking in the
pool. These pups entertain themselves
for a few months while mum is out to sea.
