Abel Tasman, the best walking track for scenery in New Zealand - at least as far as we have discovered. I'm sure there are gorgeous mountain tracks in the NZ alps, and even a glacier or two, but the coastal track of Abel Tasman beats all for aqua clear water, golden sand beaches, and sub-tropical ferns and trees.
These are the tidal flats at the very beginning of the track. There is no track fee, so we simply drove to Marahau and began walking. It was low tide and late in the afternoon. There were lots of sea birds including Canada geese. It's a long way to fly even on NZ Air.
I've been trying to upload additional photos, but it takes about 10 - 15 minutes for each one, so I'm not patient enough. Sorry about that. NZ broadband is not fast, and I am told that at the end of the month privately owned internet services (as in cafes and hotels) begin to run out of megabites. Does that make sense? I was advised to upload pictures at the first of each month. Something is strange, because earlier in our stay, the internet was much faster.
I'll try again tomorrow, and hopefully I won't have to wait until March 1 to send more photos.
