abel tas-mania!




So the dell is still down, but lucky for you google has pictures of just about everything so I can somewhat show you what we've been up to the past couple days...

Josh, Dominic, and I set off on a 3 day, 2 night kayaking trip along the Abel Tasman coast. The Abel Tasman has golden sand, bright turquise/blue waters, and beautiful green coastine... when it's sunny anyway. And lucky for us, it was sunny THE ENTIRE TIME. I was in my swimsuit for most of it. Hot hot hot weather and perfect calm kayaking waters. A dream. It was a great change from walking miles and miles with a backpack on... a couple highlights --
We saw an octopus! We stopped at these one arches and happened to see in the tidepools an octopus chasing after crabs - pretty neat.
Josh and Dominic were able to pick and cook their own mussels straight from the beach. We even brought about 5 or so pounds back home and cooked up a little feast for ourselves... I even had a few so you know they MUST have been good!!
Great weather, beautiful conditions, and a really great time. Couldn't beat it... not sure where we're off to next, but we'll keep you posted... dell or no dell.
