Abel Tasman

Now comes finally one of the Great Walks in New Zealand, The Abel Tasman Walk. We did the inland Track of the National Park and came back on the coast at the best sunny weather we could have. At first I show you some pictures from Nelson the nearest bigger town. Tomorrow I catch the ferry to the north  Island and have some days in Wellington which is elected as one of the most liveable cities in the world.




Enjoy the pics
