New Year and Abel Tasmen

Just after Christmas Hillevi arrived in NZ for the start of her adventure. Mika, our friend from Oslo also joined us for a 2 week holiday. We headed up the the North of the South Island, and the Golden Bay area for New year, and then entered the Abel Tasmen National park for 5 days of tramping.

The trek took us through thick jungle, and gave us access to numerous deserted beaches in a complete paradise.



Mika relaxes with a ´One Square Meal´for lunch, on yet another perfect beach.




Hillevi relaxing with a book at our private beach for the night.

Tonga Island seal colony.



Home for the night. More perfect beaches!!!!




Everything grows bigger and better over here. These arn´t trees.....they´re ferns! And they can reach over 10 metres in height!




A giant fern, which NZ is famous for.






We forgot a deck of cards. For the nights entertainment we Mika leads us in a matrix style long jump competition.
