Just got back from having an awesome holiday hiking down in Abel Tasman National Park – see my Flickrset for snapshots.
Some numbers:
- Walked about 45km
- Owner of about 50 sandfly/mosquito bites
- Have zero blisters (yippee)
- Am 10x browner than I was
- Am 2x fitter than I was
- Saw 2 Orcas
- Saw about 12 seals
- Spotted about 16 stingrays, including 1 right in front of me in the water
- Crossed about 5 estuaries and rivers
- Went over one big swing bridge
- Had one large crab flicked on my face
- Sat behind the one and only Dave Dobbyn on the plane down to Nelson
- Took about 180 photos
- and…behind on approximately 500 emails, 50 RSS feeds, and 15 blog post ideas
your thoughts

I’ve been in Heaphy Trek last year, almost the same period of the year, during my honeymoon.
I envy you, I love NZ, and I love trekking.
Hope to come there again sometime soon
